And a third demographics screen for staff. A lot of the information is 
identical (name, addresses, ID numbers)
In terms of implementation then, should we have a base class and 3 descendents 
for the demographics widgets?

But if everything in the client is patient-related, to me, this just underlines 
the insanity of 
having the "Patient Details" tab. This is pointless complexity,  both from the 
user's and programmer's perspective.
