The challenges facing osteopaths
The phone during consultations
You cannot pick up with your hands on a patient. Missed calls go to whoever answered.
The Sunday evening back
Pain does not know your opening hours. A patient who cannot book at 9pm on Sunday calls somebody else on Monday.
Slots lost without warning
Forty-five minutes booked and nobody. Over a day of eight consultations, two absences are a quarter of the takings.
Follow-up between sessions
Who came, why, how long ago — finding it out takes longer than writing it down would have.
Patients who come back every three months
Regular follow-up is half the work, and it is the half people forget to rebook.
The time between patients
Airing, writing, breathing: without buffer time, the diary sticks eight consultations end to end.

Practical guide: Osteopaths
- Open online booking for straightforward reasons and keep the phone for first consultations: you filter without closing the door.
- Set ten to fifteen minutes of buffer: the only way not to fall behind by the third consultation.
- The reminder the evening before halves absences; it is the setting that pays back fastest.
- Create a "first consultation" service longer than the follow-up: an honest duration stops you running all day.
- Offer to rebook at the end of the session rather than "give me a ring": the recurring booking exists for that.
- Put your link on your Google Business Profile: "osteopath near me" is the front door for new patients.
Frequently asked questions
Is Kagenda certified for health data hosting?
No. It holds no clinical records and is not certified as a health data host under French law or any equivalent.
Can I block buffer time between patients?
Yes, invisible to the patient.
How do I manage patients who come back regularly?
By offering the next appointment at the end of the session, on recurrence.
Can I ask for a deposit?
Yes, a fixed amount or a percentage, service by service.
Do my patients get a reminder?
Yes, by email as standard, by SMS with credits.
Can I keep certain windows for the phone?
Yes, by opening only part of your diary online.
What happens if a patient cancels?
The rule you set applies, and the slot goes straight back online.
Is "osteopath" a protected title in the UK?
Yes, and strongly. The Osteopaths Act 1993 makes it a criminal offence to call yourself an osteopath, or to imply that you are one, unless you are registered with the General Osteopathic Council; the GOsC prosecutes. Registration requires a recognised qualification, professional indemnity insurance, continuing professional development and compliance with the Osteopathic Practice Standards, backed by a fitness-to-practise jurisdiction. Two further points: advertising claims fall under the CAP Code and the Advertising Standards Authority has ruled on osteopathic claims beyond musculoskeletal conditions, and if you work with children an enhanced DBS check applies.
