Julie M.

Executive Assistant

“There are some mandatory features and tasks that needs to be added to the Bright safe(health and safety component of the system ) like the CQC compliance updates, basic care plans and assessments templates for domiciliary care providers ,daily tasks & some other stuffs which makes it incomplete and the system can not be rated as ALL IN ONE.”
