Hi, we're Rushcliff — we've been building Private Practice Software since 1997
Rushcliff Ltd is an independent, UK-based software company. We started in 1997, and PPS is now used by private practices all over the world — including, believe it or not, Antarctica.
It started with a chiropody notebook, a gap in the market, and two people who thought they could build something better.
Rushcliff's first product — the Chiropody Practice Management System — launched in 1995 and took off fast. That early success pointed to a much bigger gap in private healthcare software, so in 1996 we got to work on something more ambitious: PPS. It went live in 1997 to physiotherapists, podiatrists, osteopaths and more, and Rushcliff Ltd was born the same year, founded by Andy and John.
Development hasn't really stopped since. Nearly thirty years on, PPS has grown through close, long-running relationships with the practitioners who use it — and today, that means practices from the UK to Canada, Singapore, Barbados and even Antarctica.
Still run by the people who started it
Andy and John, our founding directors, are still closely involved today — alongside a team that's grown steadily since 1997 across development, support, account management, sales, admin, marketing and product. Many of the people who joined years ago are still part of the team now, and we're always on the lookout for people with the right skills and the right enthusiasm for our industry.
Our practitioners do amazing things — we like to help
We've worked with thousands of practitioners over the years, and so many of them give their time to remarkable causes. We're not the kind of company that just watches from the sidelines — on top of the causes below, we've also sponsored our local football club, Burton Albion Academy, on a number of occasions.
