Clinic questions

Safe boundaries for routine calls.

Can it give medical or clinical advice?

No. Keep its instructions to approved administrative information and tell callers how to reach an appropriate professional or emergency service when needed.

Can it take a new appointment request?

Yes. It can collect the service, preferred time and contact details for your team to confirm. It should not promise availability.

What information is saved after a call?

Depending on your settings, the portal can show captured details, a summary and transcript. Recording is optional. Configure retention and access to suit your own privacy obligations.

Give routine calls a clear, controlled path.
