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.
