Appointment software is an essential part of Clinic management. Doctors and patients can utilise this effectively. Small medical practices or solo practitioners might not have the budget for a costly appointment scheduling system. Trail versions are not useful.
Today we will discuss some free and easy to use appointment software with a simple interface. No need to purchase costly software.
1.Facebook Appointments
- More than 2 billion individuals using Facebook
- If you have a Facebook page (not profile) it is very easy to set an appointment link.
- Go to your Page, then click on ‘Appointment settings’.
- Set your clinic timings and slots for each patient.
- You will get a “Share Booking Link” also that you can share on your facebook, WhatsApp, website or to your clients.
- You can set Appointment approval, SMS notifications and Customer reminders also in the ‘settings’ section.
- You can reschedule or cancel the appointment also.
- You can have multiple blocks of time each day
