Poniżej wersja spójna z poprzednimi case studies, ale bez sprowadzania projektu do samej strony internetowej.

Hull, East Yorkshire

Aesthetic and wellness clinic

Results

• Approximately 20 hours of administrative work recovered each week

• Around £10,000 in annual refund leakage eliminated

• CQC audit-preparation time reduced by approximately 60%

• Zero non-conformities at the next inspection

• One source of truth for bookings, records and operations

The business

An aesthetic and wellness clinic in Hull managing consultations, treatments, patient records, payments and regulatory requirements across a growing practice.

The challenge

The practice relied heavily on phone calls, paper notes, manual checks and information stored across disconnected tools.

Bookings required significant coordination. Patient and visit information was spread between notebooks, journals and separate systems. Staff had limited visibility of what had been booked, completed or still required attention.

The result was excessive administration, inconsistent information and avoidable financial loss.

The financial risk

A major source of leakage came from patients booking and paying for high-value treatments before medical suitability had been confirmed.

When contraindications were identified later, the practice had to cancel appointments, process refunds and absorb the lost time and transaction cost.

The problem was not demand. It was the order in which the booking process happened.

The solution

A single system was built to support both the public-facing website and the clinic’s internal operations.

Website and booking system

Patients can view services, select treatments and book appointments through one connected process.

Bookings enter the same system used by the clinic, removing the need to transfer information between separate platforms.

Pre-payment health screening

Medical screening was moved ahead of payment.

Patients answer the relevant health questions before completing a booking. Where an answer indicates a potential contraindication, the transaction is paused for review instead of proceeding directly to payment.

This protects patient safety while preventing avoidable cancellations and refunds.

Centralised digital records

Paper files, notebooks and fragmented records were replaced with one controlled digital system.

The clinic now has a single location for:

• patient details

• medical history

• treatment notes

• consent records

• visit history

• booking activity

This gives staff access to consistent and current information without searching across multiple sources.

Role-based access

System access was structured by role.

Each staff member sees only the information and functions required for their work, improving control over sensitive data and reducing unnecessary exposure.

Digital check-in and consent

Patients can complete check-in and consent digitally.

This reduced repetitive front-desk administration, improved record completeness and ensured documentation was captured as part of the treatment workflow.

Measured results

The new process recovered approximately 20 hours of administrative time each week.

Pre-payment screening stopped around £10,000 in annual refund leakage by identifying unsuitable bookings before payment.

Centralised records and workflow-generated documentation reduced CQC audit-preparation time by approximately 60%. The clinic recorded zero non-conformities at its next inspection.

Why it worked

The system was designed around the complete operating model of the clinic, not around isolated functions.

Bookings, screening, payments, records, consent and compliance now form one connected workflow. Information is captured once, at the correct stage, and becomes available wherever it is needed.

Compliance evidence is created through normal daily work rather than assembled manually before an inspection.

The result is not simply a better website. It is a more controlled, efficient and financially resilient practice.
