Keeping a practice informed — whether that's your clinical team, your patients, or multiple locations — has never been straightforward. Important updates get buried in email threads, announcements go unseen, and there's no easy way to know whether your message actually landed. News Bulletins changes that.
What's new
News Bulletins is a new communication tool built directly into Virtual Consultant. Create targeted announcements for staff, patients, or specific roles — with pinning, expiry, read tracking, and multi-practice sharing built in from day one.
A New Way to Communicate Across Your Practice
News Bulletins gives practices a dedicated, structured way to share updates without relying on external tools or hoping people check their inbox. Bulletins appear directly in the Virtual Consultant interface — on the dashboard, in a patient-facing feed, and in the Bulletins Manager for admins — so the right people see the right message at the right time.
