Understanding user roles in Nursebuddy

Like you, we take information security and compliance very seriously here at Nursebuddy. We understand that not everyone in a homecare business should be able to see and do everything. So we offer a range of user roles within our platform, each tailored to a specific set of responsibilities within your homecare organisation. Here’s a summary.
