Online booking for specialist nurses

Many specialist nurses work in hospitals, but some work in the community: nurses who hold their own consultations in wound care, diabetes education, breastfeeding support, stoma or continence care, often in a health centre, a pharmacy back room or at patients' homes. Their patients arrive after a discharge, on a doctor's referral, or by word of mouth.

These consultations are longer than a quick nursing visit and usually planned. Patients or their families want to know how long it lasts, what to bring and whether it's covered. A booking page with a clear description for each consultation answers those questions.

On Book, each consultation type is a service with its own description and price, and you open slots for each at the length it takes. Where fees are set by your health system, explain them in the description instead of showing an amount. Group education sessions — for people with diabetes, new parents, carers — can take several people: set the slot's capacity and each participant books one place.

Patients book without an account and receive a confirmation email; you receive an email for each new booking. Reschedule or cancel from your bookings list, and sync with Google, iPhone or Mac. Book doesn't keep care records, handle billing or claims, and isn't for urgent care. It costs €5/month, everything included: unlimited bookings, no commission, no contract.

Your page shows times in your business's time zone, with its name displayed, so there's no confusion for clients booking from elsewhere. To fill a regular week quickly, create a slot once and repeat it on the weekdays you choose until an end date.
