Coherent and Collums
The healthcare CRM that works with Collums
Every gap in your Collums diary has a name.
Aesthetics, skin and dermatology clinics on Collums. You keep Collums. Your team's diary doesn't change. Coherent reads your appointment history and treatment types, then runs follow-up programmes in your clinic's own voice.
30 minutes. Bring a workflow, not patient details.

Where patients slip
Three places patients slip outside the treatment room.
Collums records what happens in the treatment room. Before, between and after visits, the next step often has no owner.

Programmes
Start with the gap that costs you most.
Each patient moment becomes a clinic-specific programme. Add the next one once it runs well.
Cancellation follow-up
Patients who cancelled or didn't show, offered a new time before they drift away.
Consultation follow-up
Patients who came for a consultation but haven't booked the treatment you discussed.
New leads
Enquiries from Meta, Google Ads, Skin Quiz and your website, answered and booked into Collums.
Where new enquiries come from
Coherent connects directly to Meta lead ads (Facebook and Instagram), Google Ads and Skin Quiz, as well as your website forms. Each new enquiry is answered in your clinic's voice, a coordinator approves the reply, and the booking goes into Collums.

Data protection
Your data, your connection.
A clear boundary around patient information, from the first setup conversation.
Trust & ComplianceWe read appointment records only, never clinical notes, and sign a Data Processing Agreement with your clinic before we start.
- 02
Patient data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.2+) and at rest, on UK/EEA-based infrastructure.
- 03
Role-based access limits each person to the data their job needs, and every data access is logged.

You control the connection. Ask us to stop and we end our access.
Setup with your clinic

Three things to tidy in Collums
We check all three with you during setup.
- 01
Merge duplicate patients in Collums, so each patient hears from you once.
- 02
Mark patients who've finished their care and those who've asked not to be contacted consistently. Coherent respects those settings.
- 03
Use the same treatment names at every location, so a consultation, treatment or review reads the same wherever it happens.
Fit and limits
A strong fit when follow-up is the gap.
Coherent works best alongside Collums when there is steady patient activity and a team ready to give follow-up a clear owner.
A good fit
- Enquiries, cancellations or recalls lose momentum outside the treatment room.
- Reception is busy, and follow-up has no clear owner.
- You want to choose who is contacted, when, and what happens next.
Know the limits
- !You do not have to change PMS. We set up the connection, and any move, for you.
- !Not a replacement for existing payment tools. Coherent Payments works alongside.
- !Reporting needs vary. Bring yours, and we'll confirm what's in scope.

Is Coherent a CRM for Collums?
Yes. Coherent Engage is a healthcare CRM that runs patient follow-up programmes on your Collums data, with patient coordinators handling the replies.
Do we need to change PMS?

What does it cost?
Each programme is priced on its own. We quote after your free data playback, once we've seen your Collums data.
Does it work across several Collums locations?
Yes. Coherent reads each appointment's practitioner and location, so messages come from the patient's own clinician and location.
We already send appointment reminders from Collums. Do we need Coherent?
Collums's reminders cover appointments already in the diary. Coherent works on the patients with no next appointment: those due a recall, those who cancelled and the enquiries that never booked.

You agree the permissions with us before programmes start. We read appointment records only, sign a Data Processing Agreement before we start, and you can ask us to end access at any time.
How do we stop the connection?
