Online Booking Shelf
Appointment requests with clinic-approved slots, buffers and staff rules.
Two-person booking studio, Galway
Marian Apps builds and supports plain booking, reminder and waiting-list software for private GP practices, physiotherapists, counsellors, dental rooms and consultant clinics in Ireland and the UK.
What the system does
The hosted booking system covers online appointment requests, staff and room calendars, SMS reminder queues, deposits, cancellation rules, waiting-list offers, patient imports and export packs. It is configured for small and mid-sized clinics that already know their appointment types and want the work made orderly.
Core clinic booking is €285 per month for one location with up to 6 active calendars. Additional clinician or room calendars are €32 per month each. Standard set-up is €1,850 once-off, with the first two remote training sessions included.
From Áine Connolly
We only take on two new clinic launches a month because the important work is not the screen design, it is listening to the rules that have been held together by reception for years. A practice manager will say a slot is thirty minutes, then the receptionist will quietly add that new patients are never booked beside a dressing change, or that a particular consultant needs ten minutes after every third appointment to return calls. Software people often miss that because it is not written down as a requirement. Receptionists catch it because they have already had the awkward conversation with the patient, the clinician and the person waiting at the desk. Peter and I started Marian Apps in 2017 after building a waiting-list tool for a physiotherapy clinic on Sea Road. Peter and I would rather launch fewer clinics and keep those details intact than sell a broad platform that treats every room like a call-centre queue.
Appointment requests with clinic-approved slots, buffers and staff rules.
Timed reminders using wording agreed with the person who answers the phone.
A careful queue for earlier slots, without turning patients into bidders.
Deposits for selected appointment types, with exceptions left visible.
Staff permissions by task, useful where locums and admin cover overlap.
CSV or Cliniko export migration after the clinic has cleaned the file.
Seasonal closure
“We close for the week that has St Stephen’s Day in it. I still check for outage mail once in the morning, but we do not start new clinic work until the first full week of January.”Áine Connolly, Marian Apps
