FAQ

Questions clinics ask us first

Still unsure? Bring it to the discovery call — we'll answer honestly.

Do patients know they're speaking to an outsourced team?
No. Our receptionists answer calls in your clinic's name, follow your preferred greeting and work within your existing systems, so the experience feels like an extension of your own front desk.
Can you work in our practice management software?
Yes. We work with a wide range of practice management systems and are happy to learn new platforms as part of your onboarding.
How quickly can we go live?
Most clinics are ready to go within 7–14 days, depending on the complexity of the setup. We'll work with you to ensure everything is configured before answering your first call.
What happens if we exceed our included calls?
We'll always let you know if you're approaching your included call allowance. Before any additional charges are applied, we'll discuss whether moving to a larger package makes more sense for your clinic.
Is patient data handled securely?
Yes. We operate in accordance with UK GDPR requirements, are ICO registered, and only access the information necessary to support your clinic. Every member of our team is trained in confidentiality and secure data handling.
Can you follow up new patient enquiries?
Yes. We can contact patients who enquire through your website, social media or marketing campaigns, answer basic questions and help convert enquiries into booked appointments.
Do we have to commit to a long contract?
No. We work on simple rolling monthly agreements because we believe our service should earn your business each month.
