From aesthetics clinic to telehealth clinic

We rebuilt Adexcel Clinic as a telehealth clinic: a new clinic website, online addiction treatment that starts with an online assessment patients can finish on their phone, video consultations, a patient portal, and the tools to run and grow it.

The new website

The new clinic website

The home page leads with the clinic's online treatment, and aesthetics has its own warmer page, with photography for each treatment. Both are designed for phones first.

Overview

The brief

Adexcel Clinic is a CQC-registered clinic offering aesthetic treatments in London, Essex and Gravesend. Its old website was a WordPress template built around aesthetics: the same sentence repeated 3 times on the home page, a prices page that led with the brand name of a prescription medicine, and a phone number as the home page's only call to action.

The clinic was ready to become something more: confidential online treatment for ketamine addiction and alcohol reduction, run by its clinicians through private video consultations. That needed far more than a redesign. Patients would need an assessment, a way to choose a plan and pay, and an account for consultations and messages. The clinical team would need to run all of it from one place.

We rebuilt it as an online clinic on Clinic Pro, our telehealth platform for private clinics: a new clinic website designed for phones first, online ketamine and alcohol treatment with an online assessment that is easy to finish, video consultations, a patient portal, aesthetics with a page for each treatment and each clinic, and clinic management software the team can grow with. It went live 3 weeks after the first build.

Telehealth

Online addiction treatment, from home

The clinic's new service leads the site. Ketamine addiction treatment and alcohol reduction support both run as an online clinic: a confidential online assessment first, then detox and treatment with the clinic's clinicians through private video consultations.

  • Ketamine addiction treatment and alcohol reduction support, both online
  • Every online treatment starts with a confidential assessment
  • Detox and treatment through private video consultations
  • All treatments on one page, filtered by online or in clinic
  • An ADHD waiting list, ready for the clinic's next service

Aesthetics

Natural results, close to you

Aesthetics was the heart of the old site, and it is still at the heart of the clinic. Its aesthetics clinic website was rebuilt from the ground up: a page for each treatment, the 3 clinics on maps, and one number to call, so patients can find the clinic and time that suit them.

  • A page for each treatment: anti-wrinkle injections, dermal fillers, skin tag removal and fat dissolving injections
  • Maps of the London, Essex and Gravesend clinics
  • Call to book, with a free consultation on every booking enquiry
  • Treatments named by what they do, never by brand

Assessment

An online assessment patients can finish on their phone

Online treatment starts with a confidential online assessment. However much the clinicians need to know, a patient only ever sees one question, with their progress in view and help where it matters. The clinic sets up and changes its questionnaires in its own admin.

  • One question per screen, with progress always in view
  • GP lookup by surgery name or postcode
  • Follow-up questions only when an answer needs more detail
  • Safety guidance inside the questions, such as when to call 111 or 999
  • Every answer checked on one screen before anything is sent
  • Treatment plan, details and payment in the same flow
  • Questionnaires the clinic sets up and changes in its own admin

Patient portal

A patient portal for consultations, messages and orders

Once assessed, a patient's account carries the rest of their care. Online consultations are booked from the clinicians' shared diary and held in the account, and messages and orders sit beside them. Screens show a test patient's account.

  • Video consultations with a clinician, booked and held in the account
  • Times offered from the clinicians' shared diary, soonest first
  • Change or cancel a consultation at any time
  • Private messages with the clinical team
  • Every order, and where it has got to

Admin

Run and grow the clinic from one place

The clinical team runs the whole clinic from one admin: clinic management software on the same telehealth platform as the website and the patient portal. Adding a clinician, a service or another online treatment does not mean starting again.

  • Patients, clinical records and clinical templates
  • Prescriptions and medication labels
  • Questionnaires and check-in forms, changed by the clinic itself
  • A shared diary and online schedule for video consultations
  • Messages with patients, and email templates
  • Services, prices, products and discount codes
  • A login for each member of staff, with a login audit
  • Staff compliance, training, policies and induction
  • The blog, and a dashboard of how the clinic is performing

  • Old WordPress addresses redirected, so the site kept its place in Google
Process

How we built it

  1. 01Discovery

    We mapped what the clinic was becoming, not just what it had been: online treatment for ketamine addiction and alcohol reduction, aesthetics in 3 locations, a vitamins and healthcare shop, and ADHD next. Each service got its own route in, and its own way to book: an online assessment, a call to the clinic, or a waiting list.

  2. 02Design

    Every page was designed for phone and desktop before any code: a calm green for online treatment, a warmer palette for aesthetics, and serif headings throughout. The copy rules were agreed up front: no dashes, UK English, treatments named by what they do rather than by brand, and no prices or claims beyond what the clinic had approved.

  3. 03Website

    Built for phones first, with search across treatments and products, a navigation bar at the bottom of the screen on phones, and every page given its own title, description and share image. Online treatments and in-clinic aesthetics sit side by side, so a patient can see everything the clinic offers in one place.

  4. 04Assessment

    Written with the clinical team and set up in the clinic's own admin, where questions, answer options and follow-up questions can be changed at any time. Patients see one question at a time with their progress in view, check every answer before anything is sent, then choose a plan and pay in the same flow.

  5. 05Portal and admin

    Once a patient is assessed, their account carries the rest of their care: video consultations booked from the clinicians' shared diary, private messages and every order. Behind it, the clinical team runs patients, records, the diary, staff and the website from one admin.

  6. 06Launch and content

    The new site went live 3 weeks after the first build, and replaced the old one without losing its place in Google: old WordPress addresses redirect to the closest new page. Structured data, a sitemap and a blog went live with it, with posts planned from a keyword strategy.

SEO and content

Found by the people searching for help

A rebuild can throw away the place a site has earned in Google. The old addresses were mapped to their new pages, and a blog was set up to answer the questions people search for before they are ready to ask for help.

Background

The full story

Two clinics in one

Adexcel kept its name, its phone number and its aesthetics patients, and added online addiction treatment alongside them. The new site had to serve 2 very different visitors: someone looking for a face-to-face aesthetics appointment near them, and someone looking, in private, for help with ketamine or alcohol.

So the site leads with the clinic's new online service, and gives aesthetics its own space with a warmer palette and its own way to book. Online treatments start with an assessment; aesthetics start with a call. A patient never has to work out which kind of clinic they have landed on.

An online assessment that is easy to finish

A clinical assessment for addiction treatment has a lot to cover: consent and the GP, goals, how much and how often, physical symptoms, other substances, mental health, housing, children, safeguarding and risk. Put on one page, that is a wall of questions on a phone, and patients give up.

Showing one question at a time, with progress always in view, turns it into a series of small steps. Follow-up questions appear only when an answer needs more detail. Continue is never greyed out without a reason: if something is missing, the page says what. Nothing is sent until the patient has checked every answer on one screen.

The clinic owns its questionnaires. Questions, answer options and follow-ups are set up and changed in its own admin, so the assessment can change as the clinical team's needs do.

A telehealth platform ready to grow

The website, the online assessment, the patient portal and the admin share one record of each patient, on the same software for online private clinics. When an assessment is sent, it arrives with the clinical team, the patient's account is ready, and their consultation is booked from the same diary the clinicians already use.

Every member of staff has their own login, the clinic's compliance, training and policies live in the same admin, and the ADHD waiting list is already open for the next service. Adding a clinician, a treatment or a whole new service builds on what is there.
