Access the Appointment Book
From the EMIS button, select Appointments then Appointment Book. You must have appropriate permissions (for example, B0560 Perform Patient Administration).
Book an Appointment from a Session
To book for the current patient, right-click an available slot and choose Book current patient. Alternatively, select Book new patient to find a different patient, or Book unregistered patient if needed.
- Enter the reason for the appointment (if required)
- Optionally add booking notes
- Confirm or adjust the slot type (for example, face-to-face, telephone)
- If configured, choose to print a slip or send an SMS/email notification (the patient must be opted in)
- Click Book or Book and Print to finish
Find a Specific Slot
Use Find Slot on the ribbon to search by date, time, session holder, or slot type. EMIS Web displays suitable results. Select an available slot and click Book Appointment to proceed. This is ideal for patients who require a certain clinician or specific times.
Did you know? If your practice uses Hero Health’s Online Booking platform, you can let patients book EMIS Web appointments directly through your website, freeing up administration time.
