Why practices look at Atlacare alongside WriteUpp

  • A genuinely free plan for your first 20 patients, so you can run the whole workflow before you pay anything — not just a 30-day trial.
  • A built-in Practice Health score reads your retention, revenue, diary and attendance and suggests the next action, instead of leaving you to read raw reports.
  • Data lives in EU-region infrastructure on every plan, with UK and EU GDPR tooling — consent capture, country-aware retention, audit logging and right-to-erasure — in the core product.
  • Discipline-aware notes (SOAP / DAP / BIRP), a body chart and pain scoring are built in, tuned to how each profession actually records.
  • One-click import brings your WriteUpp patients across and matches your practitioners, so switching is measured in an afternoon.

Planning your migration from WriteUpp

Atlacare imports patient records, contact details and history from a WriteUpp export and matches them to your practitioners for you. Founding clinics get white-glove help: we'll sit with you through the first import and check the data lands correctly before you go live. Nothing is removed from WriteUpp in the process, so you can move at your own pace.
