Patients choosing private care expect to get through. Ringmere answers your calls, books appointments, and routes anything clinical or urgent to your team with full context.
The missed-call problem
Sound familiar?
- Missed calls from patients who’ll pay to be seen
- Out-of-hours booking demand
- Clinical and urgent calls that must reach a person
Every one of those is a booking walking to a competitor. Ringmere answers before it does.
How Ringmere helps private gp & clinics
Answer, book, and hand you the rest.
Answers your calls, 24/7
First-ring pickup, evenings and weekends included, so callers get a real answer instead of voicemail.
Books into your calendar
Checks live availability and books the right service into the right diary, with no double-booking.
Escalates what matters
Urgent, clinical or unhappy callers go to your team immediately, with full context.
It answers messages too: on Growth and Pro, customers can WhatsApp or text your business and the same receptionist replies, books and takes orders.
Call by call
Every call a private clinic gets.
Patients who pay to be seen expect to get through first time. This is what Ringmere does with the calls your reception handles every day.
| The call | What Ringmere does |
|---|---|
| A patient who wants to see a GP today or tomorrow | Checks live availability and books the appointment during the call, with the caller’s name and number. |
| “How much is a consultation?” and “do you do blood tests?” | Answered from the services and prices you approve. If it is not on your list, it says so and takes a message. |
| A symptom, or “is this urgent?” | Never assessed by the receptionist. The call is escalated to your team as you have set it up, and the caller is told only what you have written for that case. |
| Results, prescriptions and referral letters | Taken as a message with the patient’s details and passed to your clinical team. |
| Insurance and self-pay questions | Answered from what you have told it, such as which insurers you work with, and passed to your team when it is not covered. |
| Moving or cancelling an appointment | Handled on the call within your rules, so the slot is free for the next patient. |
