Seven ways to spend less time waiting at the clinic
· 4 min read
Waiting rooms are where appointments go to die. A few small choices make a large difference.
Book the first slot of a session
Delays accumulate through the day. The first appointment after the clinic opens, or the first after the lunch break, almost always runs closest to time.
Do the paperwork before you arrive
Booking online captures your name, phone number and reason for visit in advance, so reception is a thirty-second stop instead of a form-filling exercise.
Ask one question when you book
"Is the doctor running on time today?" costs nothing and regularly saves half an hour.
Frequently asked questions
How early should I reach the clinic?
Ten minutes before your slot is enough when you have booked online, and fifteen if you are a new patient.
