WriteUpp vs Medesk: Choosing the Best Practice Management Solution
Let’s get something clear from the start: software comparison pages can be tricky. When written by competitors, they’re often biased - sometimes even misleading. And let’s face it, the only truly reliable comparison is the one you make yourself (or with feedback from trusted peers running similar clinics).
That’s why, at WriteUpp, we believe in offering you an honest, transparent comparison. Our goal isn’t to overhype or mislead - it’s to give you the facts so you can decide what your healthcare practice really needs from an all-in-one practice management platform.
Whether you’re a UK physiotherapist, counsellor, podiatrist, speech therapist, or multi-disciplinary clinic, the right software should:
- Simplify admin
- Save time
- Keep patient data secure (GDPR and ISO 27001 compliant)
- Support modern features like telehealth, mobile apps, and online booking
This way, you can judge WriteUpp vs alternatives based on what matters most to your practice - not on marketing spin.
Enhanced Practice Management & Workflow Simplicity
WriteUpp: Bundles in everything your clinic needs: diary & appointment management, online booking, waiting lists, smart forms, document templates, custom consent workflows, and built-in video consultations.
Medesk: Also has many of these features (online booking, EHR, telemedicine) but WriteUpp emphasises streamlined workflows customised to UK/EU practice needs.
Transparent Pricing & Trial Value
WriteUpp : Offers a 30-day free trial with generous allowances (video minutes, SMS credits etc.), so you can test the full platform before paying.
Medesk: While there are subscription options and a trial, the cost structure (especially for scaling up or adding extras) can become more complex.
GDPR & ISO Certification
WriteUpp: ISO 27001 certified, GDPR-ready, with strong encryption and UK/EU focused security architecture.
Medesk: Likewise is fully GDPR compliant, uses secure UK data centres, bank-level security protocols, SSL encryption, role-based access.
Video Consultations
WriteUpp: Includes built-in, secure video consultations at no extra cost, with free minutes available during your trial. There’s no need for external apps, plug-ins, or complex setup - you can launch a virtual appointment directly from your diary, with automated reminders and notes seamlessly stored in the patient record.
Medesk: Offers video consultations launched directly from its calendar, group sessions, consent & intake forms integrated into virtual visits, and automated reminders. WriteUpp also provides integrated telehealth, making it easy for practitioners to run virtual consultations without juggling separate tools.
Device Flexibility
WriteUpp: Works across desktop/web and mobile via our exclusive app - allowing clinicians to access diary, notes, forms etc from any device, anywhere.
Medesk: Also supports online booking, scheduling, EHRs etc on multiple devices (web and mobile browsers)
Rapid Support & Localization for UK/EU Practices
WriteUpp: Actively builds features based on feedback from UK and EU clinicians, uses UK/EU-friendly terminology, billing, compliance. We offer rapid, accessible support with response times as low as 7 minutes, so practices are not waiting on slow responses.
Medesk: Global and compliant, with good security and broad functionality, but localization and support speed for specific UK practice patterns can be less tailored.
Integrations & Partner Connectivity
WriteUpp: Integrates with a wide range of trusted partners - including Xero, Stripe, MailChimp, CloudRx, Wibbi, Physitrack, and external calendars (Google, Apple, Outlook) - giving UK and EU healthcare practices a more connected, patient-focused platform than Medesk’s narrower integration network
Medesk: Supports multiple third-party integrations (e.g. Google Calendar, Stripe, Xero) to connect payments, billing, scheduling etc.
