BookYourGP Savings

In our experience and in audits we have carried out BookYourGP provides administrative savings of around £4,000 per 1,000 patients.

The savings in our audits were due to the following:

  • Reduced phone bills
  • Reduced letter costs (typically a 7,000 patient surgery sends 25 letters/day, resulting in a £3,000 saving per year using BookYourGP)
  • Recall costs (presuming hourly rate of £8.50/hour) = 71p per recall
  • 7,500 patient surgery usually has 50-60 recalls/day on average = £11,049 a year excluding associated costs.
  • With associated costs mentioned above = £28,800 a year

We also found that due to having a robust communication system, we saved 93 GP appointments per month. For a 7,500 patient surgery this amounts to an additional saving of £1,800/month of GP appointments (presuming locum GP rate of £100/hr). Annualised this was an additional saving of £21,600.

For a 7,500 patient surgery, the total saving annually due to administrative savings and saving GP appointments came to £50,400 (£28,800 + £21,600).

BookYourGP Software Costs

Free until you are happy to pay. You will only be charged when you are happy to pay. If you do not want to continue at any point then you can cancel at any point - no questions asked.

Once you are happy the price for the software is £0.40 - £0.45p per patient per year, depending on the package your surgery selects to use. You will be invoiced on a monthly basis. For a 7,000 patient surgery this is £233.33 - £262.50 per month.

Please note that this cost is pre-tax / a business cost for your surgery so in reality a 7,000 patient surgery will only be paying £139.99 - £157.50 per month.

For this price the surgery will receive the full version of the application, with every feature we offer, all updates, unlimited staff use and unlimited user logins.

For the foreseeable future all free cash flow that is received by Hummingbirds Medical will be plowed back into R&D to reduce costs further and bring follow-on features as fast as possible.

Twilio / Voice Over Internet (VOIP) Prices

BookYourGP allows users to make phone calls over the Internet. It is of course up to the surgery itself whether they would like to use this feature or not.

To use this feature the surgery has to allow us to buy a phone number and then the surgery will be charged per phone call.

Hummingbirds Medical will never charge any additional fees on top of what Twilio charge. The surgery will only pay the costs to cover their own usage and the payment will be made directly to Twilio from the surgery.

Here are the prices:

  • To buy a local number: $1.00/ month (£0.77p/month)
  • Calling a local number: $0.015/ min (£0.011p/min)
  • Calling a mobile number: $0.029/min (£0.022p/min)

These prices can also be viewed on the Twilio website here.

GOV UK Prices

BookYourGP uses GOV UK Notify to send text messages, emails and letters.

Again, Hummingbirds Medical will never charge any fees on top of what GOV UK charge. The surgery will only pay the costs to cover their own usage and the payment will be made directly to GOV UK from the surgery.

Here are the prices:

  • Unlimited Emails: £0.00 (Free)
  • First 25,000 text messages per year: £0.00 (Free)
  • Per text message after free allowance: £0.0158 + VAT
  • Double sided, colour, second class letter: £0.35 + VAT

These prices can also be viewed on the GOV UK website here.
