Irregular Hours Setup

This is used when you want to temporarily change the Doctor’s hours, normally due to bank holidays or say an expected increase in new patients due to heavy marketing.

Before you make your change!

It’s best to move all the patients from any times that will no longer exist after you make your changes – you won’t be able to see them on the appointment book afterwards. You can still see any appointments you haven’t moved in the ‘All patient appointments’ report (Admin..Reports..Administration).

Irregular Hours Setup

Select the Doctor who is temporarily changing their hours.

Click the copy icon to copy the shift set.

Click ‘Copy Twice’ to copy this doctors current Shift Set 2 times (Irregular Opening and After)

Select your Irregular Opening shift, change the Start Date and make the necessary changes to the hours

Select the Shift Set that is to continue after the irregular opening and change the Start Date. Unless you plan on changing your hours permanently after the irregular opening the hours wouldn’t need changing.
