Copywriting for specialist practices

Website copywriting turns what you know about your business into clear pages that answer customer questions and lead to the next step. For specialist practices, that means getting referral information for GPs and patients, procedures and conditions and specialist profiles right, because patients with a referral and the GPs who refer them want to request an appointment without hunting for information.

What your customers are trying to do

Patients with a referral and the GPs who refer them want to request an appointment.

A specialist practice website usually has to handle appointment requests that accept a referral, pre-appointment patient forms, pages for each consulting location and patient information sheets.

Appointment requests that accept a referral: specialist appointments usually depend on a referral, so the request should collect it.

Pre-appointment patient forms: history and medication details collected early help the first consult.

Pages for each consulting location: specialists often consult at several sites with different days.

Patient information sheets: downloadable preparation and recovery notes answer common questions.

What to have ready

Notes, brochures or emails where you already explain your services well.

Frequently asked questions

What does Copywriting involve for a specialist practice?

Website copywriting turns what you know about your business into clear pages that answer customer questions and lead to the next step. For a specialist practice, the work centres on referral information for GPs and patients, procedures and conditions and specialist profiles.

Do we need to write anything ourselves?

You provide the knowledge and we do the writing. A short interview and your existing material are usually enough to start.

Will the copy sound like us?

We agree the tone at the start, and you review every page before it goes live.

Are there advertising rules for specialist practices?

Yes. Health practitioner advertising is regulated, and Ahpra publishes guidelines and tools, including guidance on testimonials. Check website claims against that guidance; this page does not give legal advice.[1]
