Your clinic, set up in an afternoon

Step by step

Each step names the screen it happens on. Keep this page open in another tab while you go.

1. 1

   Create your clinic account

   2 minutes

   • On doctorlync.com, choose Start free trial.
   • Type your clinic’s name. Its short code fills itself in and becomes your clinic’s web address.
   • Add your name, mobile number and email. Your mobile number is what you sign in with.
   • Seeing patients yourself? Keep I see patients at this clinic ticked, so you can be booked and write prescriptions.
   • Choose a password, then open the link we email you. Your clinic is ready.
   
2. 2

   Set up your clinic

   5 minutes

   • Settings → My account: choose your specialty, and add sub-specialties or type your own. They print under your name.
   • Settings → Clinic setup: fill in the letterhead — address, phone, consulting days and times. The preview shows what will print.
   • Upload your logo. It goes on prescriptions, bills and emails.
   • Set each doctor’s fee and working hours. Set the whole week does Mon–Sat in one go. A doctor with no hours cannot be booked online, so do this before your first patient.
   • Optional: add your city under Public directory, so new patients can find you in the DoctorLync app.
   
3. 3

   Invite your team

   1 minute each

   • Settings → Team → Invite staff.
   • Add their name, mobile number and email, and tick their role: Doctor, Reception, Biller, Helper or Admin.
   • They get a text, and an email if they have one, to set their own password, and see only what their role needs.
   
4. 4

   Register a patient and book

   1 minute

   • Patients → New patient: name, phone, gender and age. Everything else is optional.
   • Choose Book appointment, pick the doctor and a time, then Book. The patient is reminded before the visit.
   • When they arrive, choose Check in. The doctor sees them waiting.
   • Moving from another system? Settings → Data and backups brings your patients in from an Excel or CSV file.
   
5. 5

   See your first patient

   3 minutes

   • Consultation: type the patient’s name, phone or patient number, then Open consult.
   • Record vitals. Weight and height work out BMI and plot the growth chart.
   • Tap symptoms, examination and diagnosis, or type them. ICD-10 codes fill themselves in.
   • Add medicines by brand or molecule. For children’s syrups the dose is worked out from weight — change anything that does not suit.
   • Add advice and a follow-up, then Payment → Save. Print the prescription, or send it to the patient by SMS and email.
