Identify last-minute empty slots in seconds, and send automated SMS messages to fill them! This is a game-changer for practices currently relying on tedious manual processes – no need for constantly maintaining a physical list, and no more endless calls to fill a single slot. You can identify, contact and fill in just a few clicks!

  • Add appointments to your short notice list in a couple of clicks
  • Identify empty slots in the next five working days
  • Send automated SMS messages to fill gaps – we'll contact the most suitable patients first, and the automation will stop as soon as the slot is filled
  • Patients reply with “BOOK” to confirm they want it – the first to reply will be moved to that slot instantly!

Why use the short notice filler?

This is more than a list – the short notice filler does the thinking for you.

  • Efficient – No need to trawl through multiple days to identify empty slots. View at a glance any slots that need filling, as well as how many appointments on your short notice list match the criteria for the slot.
  • Smart – We suggest only appointments which fit the bill, so you don’t waste time. We even list them in priority order so you can start with the ones that will best optimise your chair time!
  • Automated – Confirm the patients you want to contact and we’ll do the rest! We contact patients one at a time, in an optimised order, so you’re in complete control and can focus on other tasks while we work in the background. As soon as the slot is filled, we’ll stop the automation and let any unsuccessful patients know.

Turn this week’s empty slots into opportunity - stay in complete control, while maximising your calendar, reducing admin burden and helping patients to be seen sooner!
