4 effective changes you can make to your MyHealth1st listing to increase new patient bookings

1. Practitioner Profile Photos Practitioners with great profile photos see four times more bookings than those who don’t. A good photo simply means a clear front-on headshot, with minimal background clutter. Ideally, all practitioner photos should be in a similar style – this helps to create a more cohesive and professional look. These can be taken on any current mobile phone and made even better with photo editing tools and camera features such as iPhone’s “Portrait Mode”. For professional headshots, please contact our team and we’ll be happy to refer you to a well-priced option in your area.
2. Availability Maximising your availability for online appointments ensures empty appointments aren’t passing you by. It also means the patients trying to book online are able to more easily find a time that suits them. Allowing both new and existing patients to book appointments online will also help to boost your bookings.
3. Practice Information As part of the MyHealth1st service, you have your own ‘Practice Profile Page’ within the directory. This is a fantastic place for you to tell your patients more about your team, your practice and the services you offer. If you want to stand out from your competitors, be sure to fill out the following profile page sections.
4. Practitioner Information
   
   For those looking to go above and beyond and really enhance the online booking experience for their patients, MyHealth1st also offers ‘Practitioner Profile Pages’. On these pages you can highlight the skills, qualifications, interests and experience of each specific practitioner in your practice. It’s also a great place to include a short personal bio, experience and qualifications, languages spoken, and bulk billing information. This level of detail will really set you apart and put your practitioners in the best position to receive more bookings through MyHealth1st.
