Share a patient's care with a colleague

Plenty of patients are seen by more than one person. A speech therapist and an occupational therapist might share a case. A colleague might cover while you're away. A supervisor might want to keep an eye on how things are going. Until now, Synopsis didn't have a good answer for any of that. Now it does.

You can share a patient with another therapist, and you stay in full control of what that means.

Decide how much access they get

Sharing comes in two levels. View-only lets a colleague see what's happening without changing anything, which is useful for a supervisor or a quick second opinion. Collaborator lets them work alongside you: add sessions, write their own notes, and keep the record moving while you're not there.

Decide what they can see

You choose, category by category, what's included: the profile, the sessions, the notes, the files, the therapy plan. Share only the parts that are relevant and leave the rest out.

Your private notes stay yours

This is the part we were most careful about. Even when you share a patient, a colleague only sees the notes they wrote themselves. Your own session notes stay private to you. Sharing a patient never means handing over your clinical observations.

A heads-up when schedules collide

If you book a session that overlaps with another therapist's time with the same patient, Synopsis warns you, so you can sort out the clash before it turns into a double-booking.

When sharing ends

When a share ends, the other person doesn't lose the work they did. They keep read-only access to the sessions and notes they were responsible for, but they can't add anything new. Their own record of the care they gave stays intact.

Plenty of clinicians already work this way. Synopsis can now keep that shared work in one patient record.
