Every HAS clinic now has its own website, providing patients with a direct link to book appointments with your clinic. This guide explains how to utilise the Business Profile feature effectively, including a new addition for clinics with Google listings.

<aside> 🎉 Benefits

• Improved Online Presence: Makes it easy for patients to find your clinic online and book appointments.
• Always Up-to-Date: Service offerings are synced automatically, so patients can see the latest services you provide.
  • For example, if you start offering a new vaccination type, it will automatically appear on your business profile page.
• Easy to Share: Print and display a QR code for on-site use, allowing patients to scan and save the link for future bookings.
• Website Integration: Link your Business Profile page to your Google Maps listing or your clinic’s website, enabling patients to book appointments directly.
• New "Book Online" Tab Feature (Upcoming): Clinics with a Google listing will soon have a "Book Online" tab, directing patients to the same booking link shown in the Business Profile section of the HAS Admin portal. This integration will enhance patient booking experiences while increasing visibility and accessibility for clinics. </aside>
