The 9pm booking requests, answered by 9:01
Booking requests land on the clinic WhatsApp long after the front desk goes home. By the time someone replies at 9am, the patient has booked the clinic down the road.
Overnight enquiries, triaged before the doors open. The clinic manager checks in at 7:52, the slots are already held.
@Glimmer morning, anything on the clinic WhatsApp overnight? We lost two new patients last week because nobody replied until opening ๐
6 messages since close at 8:30 PM, 4 booking requests, 1 reschedule, 1 for the doctor. I replied with available slots and pencilled holds in the calendar; nothing is confirmed until the desk confirms. Patients listed by initials here, per our PDPA practice:
| Patient | Request | Held slot | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| W.L. (existing) | Same-day GP consult | Today 10:15 AM | Held |
| T.M. (new) | Health screening | Thu 2:00 PM | Held |
| R.S. | Move Wed โ Fri | Fri 5:30 PM | Held |
| J.O. | MC extension query | For the doctor |
The MC question needs Dr Chia, I only acknowledged it and said the clinic will revert this morning. The screening enquiry also asked about prices; I sent the standard package list from the shared drive, nothing beyond that.
Confirming all three now. Two saved bookings before the doors even opened ๐
