Medical practice

For GP and specialist practices that want appointments, repeat prescriptions and the eternal question about locum cover off the phone line.

The trigger

Why it usually gets rebuilt

From eight to ten the line never clears. Appointment requests, repeat prescriptions, the question of who is covering during the holidays — get through and you were lucky, everyone else calls back an hour later. Reception spends its morning on the queue, not on the patients.

Typical pages

  • Home
  • The practice and the team
  • What we treat
  • Consulting hours and locum cover
  • Book an appointment
  • Repeat prescriptions and referrals
  • Getting here, parking and access
  • Patient information and data protection

Features

What actually makes the difference

Not every website needs everything. These are the points that genuinely count in this trade.

Appointments by type, not by slot

First consultation, follow-up, vaccination, screening — each type carries its own length and its own notice period. Patients on statutory and on private cover are handled separately, because quotas, slot lengths and billing differ.

Cover arrangements that keep themselves current

Holiday, training day, bridge day: the period is entered once. From then on the site shows the covering practice with its address and hours, and online booking closes for those dates by itself.

Prescription requests without clinical detail

The form asks for the medicine, the strength and the collection day — not for symptoms. Health data is a special category under Article 9 GDPR, which is exactly why the form stays this narrow.

A contact form that draws the line

An open message box invites people to describe their symptoms. So the form says plainly that clinical matters belong in the consulting room, and points urgent cases to the out-of-hours service and the emergency number.

Medical history form to bring with you

The form is there to print, not to upload. Reception saves time, and details of previous illnesses and medication never travel through a web form.

A notice bar for the short term

Closed due to illness, flu jabs from Monday, changed phone hours. One line the practice team sets itself, sitting at the top of every page.

Automation

What can run by itself

  1. A reminder the day before

    A short message by text or email, one day ahead. Patients who do not turn up are the most expensive gap in a practice day, and a reminder is the simplest thing that helps.

  2. Cancellations release the slot

    Cancel through the link in the reminder and the slot reopens at once. People on the waiting list are contacted in the order they joined, instead of someone working through a call list.

  3. Requests arrive as tasks

    A prescription request does not land in a shared inbox. It arrives in the reception team's task list with a collection day, and once the prescription is ready a pick-up notice goes out.

  4. Call-back requests with a time window

    Rather than holding the line, patients pick a window. The request appears in the practice calendar exactly where it is meant to be dealt with.

  5. Change opening hours once

    New hours apply at the same moment on the website, in the booking window and in the structured data that map services and directories read.

Integrations

Types of system typically connected — which product exactly is something we work out in the call.

  • Practice management system
  • Appointment book with waiting-list support
  • SMS and email delivery service
  • Clinicians' calendars
  • Map services and medical directories

Budget

$7,150 – $14,300

The lower figure covers a single-handed practice with one calendar; several clinicians, separate quotas and a link into the practice management system push it upwards.
