Introduce a function that allows patients to specify clinicians they prefer not to see. If a patient is moved into an appointment slot with a clinician they’ve flagged, the system should display a warning:


“This patient has requested not to see this clinician. Do you wish to proceed with this appointment?”

 

This feature would streamline diary management by reducing the need for staff to manually check patient notes when reassigning appointments. It functions similarly to a “clinician exclusion list” or a reverse whitelist, ensuring patient preferences are respected while improving operational efficiency.

I recently made the suggestion that we have the ability to block a patient from Being booked with a particular clinician if the clinician doesn’t want to see them.  
 

I guess we need one method of doing this rather than two ie patient doesn’t want to see a clinician so a “exclude patient from clinician” option would be ideal.

I don’t mind which method they use, as long as it can be done and there is a warning to say you’re bookng the patient with someone they don’t want to see.
