The challenge

  • Reception is swamped

    Phones ring during consultations and check-ins, and patients hang up after a minute on hold.

  • Evening calls go to voicemail

    Most people call when they're free — which is exactly when the clinic isn't.

  • Urgent calls need judgement

    An urgent symptom must reach a person immediately, not wait in a queue.

Live on your own phone line in two weeks

A two-week pilot on the after-hours window only — proved on your calls, with your team approving every booking, before anything changes in office hours.

  • We agree three things: the number to point at the agent, the transfer targets for urgent calls, and who owns the morning queue at eight o'clock.

    01Before day oneNumber & owners
  • Your services, locations, policies and FAQs become the agent's knowledge. Your reservation system goes behind our adapter — or we use our own inventory module.

    02Week 1Knowledge & systems
  • Thirty scripted test calls run the agent end to end, then your team makes real test calls. Corrections are made before a customer hears it.

    03Week 1Testing
  • The line goes live after hours only. Nothing changes during office hours, and your team approves every booking.

    04Week 2After-hours go-live
  • We review the calls together: what was contained, what became a callback, and where staff had to correct the agent.

    05End of week 2Joint review
  • Success is three numbers: calls answered that used to ring out, promises kept inside their window, and how often staff corrected the agent.

    06Success measuresWhat the pilot proves

Never miss another call

Two weeks from signing to your line answered. Your number, your systems, your team approving every booking.
