Reminders & Confirmations

Confirmations after booking, a reminder before the visit.

What it does

What it does for your practice.

A booking that nobody confirms is a booking that might not show. Velaire sends the confirmation when the appointment is made and the reminder before it comes round, without anyone having to remember.

  • Confirmation

    The patient gets the details in writing while the appointment is still fresh.

  • Reminder

    Timing is configured per practice, because a dental hygiene visit and a consultation are not the same lead time.

  • Replies

    A patient who replies to reschedule goes through the same booking route as a new request.

  • Consent first

    Messaging consent is recorded when the appointment is made, not assumed afterwards.

How it runs · Rolling out

A booking is made on Tuesday for the following week.

The patient gets the details in writing while the appointment is still fresh, then a reminder before it comes round, at the lead time your practice set. A reply to reschedule goes through the same booking route as a new request.
