The Practice Profile section of the HotDoc Dashboard allows you to customise the information that is displayed on your online booking page. The Practice Profile page is split into three sections:

• Practice Profile
• Practice Location
• Billing Information

Adding basic information such as your phone number or website, alongside additional information such as social media links, opening hours or billing options, can help patients learn about the services you provide or find a practice that best suits their needs.

3. You can also add Exceptions for times the practice's hours change from the standard operating hours (i.e. public holidays). To do this click the button to + Add exception and enter the date of the updated hours, as well as any optional label or a note to patients explaining the change. Hit Done and the exception will be added to your Practice Profile:

5. After the date has passed that included the Exception, you will need to remove it from your Practice Profile again if you no longer wish to display it on your Bookings page. To remove an opening hour, select the remove icon next to the Exception to your standard opening hours:
   
   

Please Note: Anytime you make a change to your Opening Hours through the Practice Profile page in your Dashboard, remember to hit Save to publish the changes to your Bookings page

Practice Location

Updating your Practice location is important so it's clear to patient's where their appointment will be held and whether it will be virtual (Telehealth) or in person. 

1. First, select if your practice is an In person practice, or if it is Telehealth only (no physical location for the patient to attend). 
   
   
   
   
2. If Telehealth-only, select the timezone your practice operates from by clicking the drop down box. Once complete, move to the next section.
   
   
   If In person, fill in the following details.
   1. Street Address: type your registered practice address below
   2. Suburb: type and select the suburb of your address 
   3. Directions and Parking: extra information regarding parking or directions:
      
   4. In the Map Location section:
      • You will need to type your practice address and select it from the registered address options to accurately pin your practice on the google map. 
      • You can also select the map, hold the mouse and move it around to drop the pin at the practice's precise location.
        
        
        
3. Once completed, click Save.
   
   

Billing Information

1. You can select what type of Payment Methods you accept by clicking on the disclosure triangle and checking the default options:
   
   
   
   
2. You can also add a Billing Policy by typing any further information in the box provided.
