August 13, 2018 —
As per the Company Spokesperson, Local Physio is an innovative search engine which enables patients to find regional physical therapy practitioners in the UK, is expanding the scope of its service following the acquisition of Health Advisor. News of the development arrives at an exciting time for the health technology specialists, who are also finalising plans to relaunch their physiotherapy near me service with the addition of a fully incorporated real-time booking system for the first time.
As per them, Health Advisor is an online platform that provides prospective patients with instant access to a huge database of primary and secondary care specialists including doctors, dentists and mental health experts. They can use the website’s sophisticated search engine to compare qualified practitioners and book suitable appointments without picking up the phone. The site effectively harnesses the power of technology to eradicate the hassle of what has long been a stressful experience, particularly in the UK.
The acquisition of Health Advisor represents an important development for Local Physio. The company has successfully spearheaded attempts to apply innovation to the physical therapy space and can now apply its disruptive technology to the broader healthcare industry in the UK. Such progress is long overdue too - the sector has traditionally been slow to respond to the transformative potential of tech solutions in comparison to other industries. Online platforms like Health Advisor and Local Physio can change that by ensuring that booking a medical appointment is as easy as booking a flight, restaurant or hotel.
An Instant Appointment Booking System
Both Health Advisor and Local Physio can change the way patients connect with healthcare professionals. The technology provides them with all the information they need to make an informed choice about their treatment and source a convenient appointment with an appropriate specialist at a time and location that works best for them. They can read reviews of different practitioners and interact directly with their booking system, removing the traditional requirement to ring around.
The system not only benefits patients, but clinics too. Conventional booking systems are both inefficient and expensive to maintain. Online platforms like Local Physio and Health Advisor remove much of this administrative cost and provide healthcare organisations with access to a broader range of patients. The services can support and even encourage late-notice bookings, helping clinics fill diary gaps which would otherwise remain empty.
How Local Physio Works
Users can search the Local Physio website by inputting a postcode or town. The results are displayed in clearly and concisely, allowing the patient to see exactly how far a clinic is from their home or work. They can also view the locations on a map.
Before the recent platform upgrades, the patient would then call the clinic to book an appointment when they had made their choice. Now, however, they can connect with the clinic’s diary system and book an appointment directly. It’s a powerful proposition that provides an efficient and convenient solution to a longstanding problem.
