Patient engagement is the key to acquiring and keeping new patients. Attracting them to your practice and having them choose you instead of another healthcare provider is only the first step in increasing your client base. After you have had the initial consultation there is still work to be done to retain new clients so they don’t look elsewhere.
So, how do you keep clients coming back to your practice again and again? The key to patient retention is having a connection with your patients.
Research shows that patients who feel listened to are more likely to book subsequent consultations. Providers who spend less time on paperwork have more receptive clients who report a better doctor-patient relationship.
The behaviour of the modern patient has also changed in recent decades. Today’s patient is much savvier than his 1980’s counterpart. Patients use the internet to find information about illnesses and treatments before seeing a healthcare professional. They also use the internet to help them choose a medical provider that fits their needs and ideally suits their requirements.

Website Design - We can design a modern, responsive website to showcase your practice and medical speciality, as well as provide trusted healthcare information that your patients can refer to. If this information is regularly updated, patients will feel more involved in their own care and will keep coming back to your site to read more. Responsive websites that fill patient needs are more likely to result in referrals.
Mobile Websites – Designing your site so its mobile phone friendly will increase the number of visits to your site and the number of appointments.
