Benefits of using a healthcare answering service

Out of hours call answering

Reach more patients and respond to more enquiries with our after hours answering services for medical offices and clinics, keeping your practice running during evenings and weekends.

Friendly, personal service

Our friendly, UK-based clinic answering service PAs all have experience handling calls for the healthcare sector, so understand the level of discretion and professionalism required. Real people will answer every call for you - we never use AI.

Better call management

Reduce call queue times for patients with urgent enquiries as you respond to more callers faster with our healthcare and doctors’ answering service. Provide a better service when managing high call volumes during the morning appointment rush and over peak periods.

Appointment booking support

Our virtual receptionists can manage online appointment bookings for patients when your team isn’t available, helping to keep your clinic running smoothly.

Extend your opening hours

Be there for patients beyond the 9 to 5 by effectively extending your opening hours with our after hours’ medical answering service. Avoid losing clients to competitors’ clinics with out of hours call answering, with recordings sent immediately to your Face For Business app.

Save money

Using an outsourced healthcare answering service means you can save on the cost of employing a full-time receptionist, without compromising on efficiency. Bills are optimised every month too, so you’ll only ever pay for the call handling time you use.

Transform patient experience with a medical call answering service

Private clinics and other healthcare providers receive a high volume of calls from patients, which can be a juggle for receptionists to answer on top of greeting clients in person. A dedicated healthcare answering service takes away this stress, allowing you to deliver a high standard of service to all patients, even when it feels like the phone is ringing non-stop.

Our professional medical answering service will help you capture more leads from new patients, respond to common queries, and deliver the best customer service to everyone ringing or visiting your clinic.
