A pattern per person
Hours per day with a break, per day of the week, for every doctor and staff member.
The weekly pattern behind every bookable slot
Availability is not a separate calendar. It is the rule that decides which slots exist in the diary, so booking can never put someone where they are not.
The problem
When the rota lives on a wall and the diary lives in software, the two drift apart within a week — and the cost is a client booked in on a day their vet is on leave. Availability here is not a second calendar to keep in step; it is the rule that decides which slots exist at all.
Hours per day with a break, per day of the week, for every doctor and staff member.
Match the practice’s hours in one click, and get a warning when a pattern falls outside them.
See how many people are on each day the practice is open — and which day has nobody.
Requests are made and approved in the console; approved leave and closures take the slots out of the diary.
Clients can only request, and the desk can only book, inside these hours.
What decides a slot
Hours per day with a break, per day of the week, for every doctor and staff member.
Match them in one click, and get a warning when somebody’s pattern falls outside them.
Requested and approved in the console — including half days — and taken out of the diary once approved.
A closed day is closed to everybody: no client can request through it and the desk cannot book into it.
Cover
The week shows how many people are on each day the practice is open, so a gap is something you see before a client finds it.
Connected to booking
Clients can only request, and the front desk can only book, inside these hours — which is why availability is the quiet half of appointment scheduling rather than an administrative chore.
FAQ
Clients request appointments from their app or your practice website: what is wrong, when they can come and which vet they prefer. The practice then confirms a slot, offers alternatives or declines. The front desk can also book directly, and clients are emailed when the diary changes.
Yes. Only the hours somebody actually works can be booked. Availability patterns, buffers between appointments, approved leave and practice closures all take slots out of the diary automatically.
