Part 1 of 2
Regardless of whether you’re a dietitian, psychologist, physiotherapist, exercise physiologist, or any other kind of allied health professional, modules built-in to Bp Allied for Allied Health Professionals can help you run your Practice with efficiency and ease.
Bp Allied’s unique modules help you work the way you want to. In addition to the modules themselves, Bp Allied has fully customisable fields and templates.
