Podiatrists: book sports podiatry assessments online

How podiatrists can book sports podiatry assessments online: a longer assessment slot, what athletes bring, club days and follow-up visits. €5/month.

A sports assessment needs time: watching the athlete move, checking their shoes, testing on a treadmill or a track. Athletes train during the day and want evening or weekend appointments. With Book, runners, footballers and club members book a sports assessment on your own booking page at the times you open for them, and clubs can book a screening day for several players.

A longer sports assessment

On Book, each service has a name, a price and an optional description, all shown on your public page. Each slot belongs to one service, sits within one day and has its own capacity.

Durations are examples: set your own according to your practice and the rules that apply to you.

What athletes should bring

  • the training and match shoes they use most;
  • shorts so you can see the legs move;
  • any current insoles;
  • a summary of their training load, if it helps your assessment.

Keep health details out of the note

The booking form takes first name, last name, email and phone, plus an optional note that reaches you in the new booking email and appears in the athlete's calendar file. Ask for the sport and level, such as amateur runner or club footballer, and tell athletes not to describe injuries there; you'll go through them in the assessment.

Evening and weekend slots

Slots repeat weekly on the weekdays you choose until an end date. Open sports assessments in early evenings and on Saturday mornings, and keep daytime slots for other patients. You create every slot, so time to reset the treadmill or equipment never appears on your page.

Club screening days

For a club or team, create a dedicated service named with the club and date, with short slots that each player books for themselves. Every service is public, so say in the description that it's reserved for that club's players. Book doesn't take payments or issue invoices, so invoice the club as you do now.

Follow-ups and races

Book follow-ups yourself from your bookings list, timed around the athlete's season or race date. First and last name are enough; with their email, the athlete gets a confirmation with a calendar file. Book doesn't send reminders.

Working as a team

Book has one booking page per business and no staff field. If a colleague also does sports work, create services per podiatrist.

What Book doesn't do

Book doesn't store assessment results or records, take payments or send reminders. Athletes can't move or cancel online: they contact you. Book costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited services and bookings, no commission, no contract.

Can athletes book evening assessments?
Yes. Open sports slots in the evenings and at weekends.
Can a club book a screening day?
Yes. Create a service for that club and date; each player books a slot.
Should athletes describe injuries in the note?
No. The note appears in their calendar file.
Can I time follow-ups around a race?
Yes. Book them from your list at the dates you choose.
