What departments are for

If your clinic groups practitioners — physiotherapy, dietetics, reception, or however your team is organised — departments let you assign each person to a group and see the whole structure at a glance.

Assign a practitioner to a department

Open the practitioner's profile settings and set their Department. Type a new department name to create it on the spot, or choose an existing one.

View the department hierarchy

From the users list or a practitioner's profile, open Department hierarchy to see every department and exactly which practitioners belong to it, with a count for each.

Renaming or removing a department

Manage department names from your autocomplete values, the same way you manage other reusable lists. Exclude one from filtering if it's no longer used, rather than reassigning every practitioner manually.
