The Staff Hub replaces the sticky note by reception and the group text half the team misses. Post what everyone needs to know, give it an expiry, and it tidies itself.

What it's for

The Staff Hub is the clinic's noticeboard inside ClinyPal, for the things that otherwise go on a sticky note by reception: a practitioner off sick, a new parking rule, a reminder about the fire drill. Everyone with access to the clinic sees the same list, so it replaces group texts that half the team misses. It isn't for patient details; those belong on the patient's record.

Post an update

1

Open Staff Hub from the menu

Posts are listed newest first; Nothing posted yet until the first one.

2

Write it

Title your update… and Share an update with your team…. Keep the title to what someone scanning the list needs.

3

Choose how long it stays

24h, 48h, 7 days or No expiry. A post with an expiry shows Expires 2d 5h and disappears on its own; use it for anything that's only true this week, so the board doesn't fill with stale notices.

Post

It appears at the top for everyone.

Replies, edits and deletion

  • Write a reply… under a post starts a thread, so a question and its answer stay together.
  • Edit and Delete are offered on your own posts and replies only. Delete post? asks for confirmation and removes its replies too.
  • An administrator can also edit or delete anyone's post or reply, to tidy the board.
  • A patient-related question in the hub should become a note on the patient's record or a task, which is where the next shift will look.
