Clinical Training Logbook
InPlace alternatives compared with Clinical Training Logbook
InPlace is built for university physiotherapy programs with 2,000 students. If you have 50–500 students in an allied health program, here is the self-hosted alternative.
Clinical Training Logbook gives coordinators real-time cohort visibility, configurable breadth requirements, and supervisor sign-off workflows — on WordPress, for a flat annual fee.
The numbers
What you actually pay.
Per-seat SaaS pricing climbs with every hire. A self-hosted licence is flat — one annual fee per site, regardless of user count.

Why teams switch
What SaaS compliance really costs you.
Paper logbooks don’t survive audit season
Manual logs and spreadsheets work until audit preparation begins. Reconstructing six months of placement evidence takes weeks.
Enterprise pricing doesn’t fit smaller programs
Clinical placement systems built for large university programs are overkill — and overpriced — for a college with 50–500 students.
Supervisors can’t see the whole picture
Without a real-time cohort view, coordinators only find out a student is behind when it’s too late to intervene.

Common questions, answered.
We have 80 students — is InPlace even available to us?
InPlace is enterprise-only and primarily serves large universities. For programs under 500 students, the pricing and implementation overhead rarely makes sense. Clinical Logbook Pro is built for programs of this size.
Can supervisors access the logbook without a WordPress login?
Yes. Supervisors access student logs via a shareable link or a simple frontend login — no WordPress admin access required.
How does breadth enforcement work — what counts as variety?
You configure breadth requirements per program: treatment types, patient cohorts, condition categories, or any custom dimension. The system tracks each student’s coverage and flags gaps before the end of placement.
Can students attach photos or documents to a session log?
Yes. Each log entry supports file attachments — consent forms, assessment documents, or clinical evidence. Files are stored on your server.
