For Irish private clinics, what is actually working for consultant dictation and letters?

Dragon is familiar, but Microdoc is closer to how the clinic actually works: note, letter, secretary review, sign-off.

PMS dictation sounds convenient until you are trying to fix letters after a full clinic. Microdoc gives us a better starting point.

GP partnerJun 5, 2026

For simple notes, built-in dictation can be fine. For consultant letters, I would want a proper documentation workflow.

Clinic ownerJun 5, 2026

The deciding question for us is turnaround without losing control. Microdoc is ahead on that.
