For UK private medical consultants
Unnecessary follow-up appointments fill the diary and block new patients
A large share of outpatient follow-ups in private practice could be safely managed remotely. But without a system to do it, consultants default to face-to-face. That blocks capacity and frustrates patients who don't need to come in.

From Paul
Tell me where that £42,000 is coming from, and I'll come back with the three things to fix first.
A few quick questions, about two minutes, and no typing. I read every one myself and reply with the three things costing you most and where I'd start. If it's useful, we talk. If not, you've still got a clear picture.
No obligation, no sales call unless you ask for one, and nothing automated lands in your inbox.
Paul, Solvable
- Follow-ups are scheduled by default, not clinical need
- No remote monitoring option exists for stable patients
- Diary capacity is consumed by avoidable appointments
- New patient access is squeezed as a result
How to fix it
Review which follow-ups genuinely need a face-to-face appointment Introduce a safe remote or virtual option for stable patients Free the capacity created for new patient appointments
