Your starting page plan
- Home: practice scope, hours, location and booking
- Practitioners: factual qualifications and interests
- Appointments and fees: duration, billing and cancellation information
- Visit: physical access, transport and preparation
- Contact: routine enquiries and published out-of-hours arrangements
Build these first
- Use a suitable secure patient-booking system
- Do not request symptoms or medical history in a general contact form
- Show verified practitioner and service information
- Have the practice review all clinical wording before publication
- Provide clear confirmation and a way to change a booking
Add later, if useful
- Reviewed patient information explaining practice processes
- A secure patient portal when operationally supported
Measure what matters
- Completed routine bookings
- Booking failures or abandoned steps
- Practical questions patients still need to call about
A trap to avoid
A website is not a diagnosis or triage service. Do not promise clinical outcomes or use generic promotional reviews as medical advertising. Have the practice review applicable advertising, privacy and accessibility obligations.
This guide suggests a starting structure; it does not guarantee enquiries, sales or search rankings. Adapt it to your customers, capacity and budget.
