Comparison
Jump vs Pabau
Compare Jump EHR and Pabau side by side. Both serve UK private practices, but Jump is purpose-built for GP clinical workflows while Pabau focuses on aesthetics and medspas.
We think Jump is a great product, but we also respect the work Pabau does. This page exists because we know practices want side-by-side comparisons when choosing software. We aim to be fair and factual - if you spot anything inaccurate, please let us know.
Product overview
What is Jump EHR?
Jump EHR is designed from the ground up for UK private GP practices. Its clinical safety infrastructure includes formulary-integrated prescribing with the NHS dm+d drug database, real-time drug interaction and allergy alerts, and automatic SNOMED CT coding on every consultation.
For private GPs comparing platforms, Jump provides the clinical depth needed for safe prescribing, structured clinical data, and CQC-ready governance - features that are essential for GP-grade care but not typically found in clinic management platforms designed for other specialties.
What is Pabau?
Pabau is a comprehensive clinic management platform with strong roots in the aesthetics and medspa industry. It offers an impressive all-in-one suite covering appointment scheduling, payment processing via Pabau Pay terminals, marketing campaigns, CRM, stock management, and loyalty programmes.
Pabau has expanded into GP clinics and offers prescribing through pharmacy integrations with CloudRX, SignatureRX, and Pharmacierge. It also provides AI-assisted clinical notes via Echo AI. However, its clinical safety infrastructure - particularly around dedicated SNOMED coding and dm+d drug database integration - is not as deep as a purpose-built GP EHR.
Why compare these two?
Practices comparing Pabau and Jump are typically deciding between a broad clinic management platform and a specialist GP clinical system. If your practice performs aesthetic treatments alongside GP consultations, Pabau may offer useful features like injection plotting and before-and-after photos. But if your primary need is safe GP prescribing, structured clinical coding, and CQC-ready audit trails, Jump provides deeper clinical infrastructure purpose-built for that workflow.

The verdict
Pabau is a comprehensive clinic management platform with strong roots in aesthetics and medspas. It has expanded into GP clinics and offers prescribing via pharmacy integrations, but its clinical safety infrastructure is not as deep as a purpose-built GP EHR.
