1

AI answers with your clinic name and a warm, professional greeting customised to your brand voice.

Urgency Assessment
AI assesses urgency based on YOUR defined criteria. Urgent calls transfer immediately.

Specialty & Consultant Matching
AI identifies required specialty and matches to available consultants based on your rules.
"I'd like to see someone about a knee injury" → Orthopaedics → Mr. Smith (available Tue/Thu) or Dr. Jones (available Mon/Wed)5
Insurance Capture (if applicable)
For insured patients, AI captures all details needed for smooth billing.
Provider (Bupa, AXA, Vitality...) • Policy number • Membership number • Pre-authorisation code • Excess amount6
Appointment Booking or Callback
AI offers available slots from your calendar, or arranges callback for complex cases.
