A day at your front desk
Calls don't arrive evenly. Neither do the misses.
An illustrative weekday at a busy three-surgery practice. Most missed calls land in the 8am rush, over lunch and after closing, exactly when nobody is free to pick up.

08:00The morning rush
Patients in pain ring at 8 on the dot. One receptionist, two lines and a queue at the desk.
12:30Lunch cover
One person on the desk, or nobody. The phone rings out while they check a patient in.
18:00After closing
Patients ring after work. Voicemail picks up and many hang up without leaving a message.

Questions
What practices ask us first
Search for a word, or pick a topic.
Showing all 11 questions
Will patients know they are talking to an AI?
Patients and AI
Yes. Every agent says it is an AI assistant at the start of the call. Patients deserve to know, and anyone who would rather speak to a person can ask.
Does it give clinical or medical advice?
Clinical safety
No. The agent never assesses symptoms, suggests treatment or gives medical advice. It books, answers practical questions from information you approve and passes anything clinical to your team.
What happens with dental emergencies out of hours?
Clinical safety
It follows the route you set. That could be your on-call dentist, your emergency line, or giving NHS 111 details. Every urgent call is flagged at the top of the morning summary.
Does it work for NHS and private patients?
Patients and AI
Yes. It follows your rules for each: NHS availability and waiting lists, private fees from your price list, and any plan or membership details you approve.
Does it work with our practice management software?
Setup and systems
It works with most diaries and practice systems. We check yours on the first call and tell you plainly what connects directly and what needs a workaround.
[CONFIRM] supported practice management systems
How does it handle elderly or anxious patients?
Patients and AI
It speaks clearly, takes its time and repeats details when asked. Anyone who wants a person is put through in your opening hours, or a message is taken for a call back.
Can it fill last-minute cancellations?
Setup and systems
Yes. When a patient cancels, it offers to rebook them, then offers the free slot to waitlist patients who agreed to short-notice offers.
Is patient data kept safe?
Data and rules
You remain the data controller and OMH acts as your processor under a written data processing agreement, in line with UK GDPR. We agree what is stored, where and for how long before go-live.
[CONFIRM] storage region and retention options
Are calls recorded?
Data and rules
Only if you want them to be. Patients are told at the start of the call, and recordings are deleted on the schedule you set.
Will it replace our receptionists?
Working with us
No. It takes the overflow and the routine calls, so your team can look after the patients in front of them. You choose when it answers: only when the lines are busy, only out of hours, or first on every call. Anything clinical, sensitive or complicated still goes to your team.
Is there a minimum contract?
Working with us
We set out the terms in writing before you start, including notice period and what is included each month. Every invoice shows minutes used and any extra.
Billed monthly, 30 days notice.
No questions match that
