Coordinate care with audiology, anaesthetics, theatre and other clinicians where needed
An agent can draft a referral or an update from the file. The specialist checks what can be shared, and what the next clinician actually needs to know.

Tasks, by type of work.
Each task has an experience tag (CX, SX or BX), a verdict, and example agents that often help with this kind of work. Agent suggestions come from our editorial scores, not vendor claims.
Inbox
Answer questions about appointments, fees, recovery and routine post-procedure logistics when they are already agreed
Common questions can be drafted from the clinic information. Pain, bleeding, a change in hearing or any new symptom goes to the specialist or the duty clinician.
Bookings & calendar
Confirm clinic, procedure and review bookings, and send reminders
Reminders and review prompts can run from the care plan automatically, with a person watching anything that changes a procedure list.
Example agents: n8n, ElevenLabs, Gemini
Phone & voice
Talk with a patient or a family member when there is a complication, a disappointing result, or a plan that has to change
These conversations need clinical judgement and care in the moment. They should stay human.
Spreadsheets & data
Keep the clinical record and the next-review plan up to date
Approved notes can be filed against the record automatically, so the next visit starts from an accurate file.
Documents
Write clinical notes, procedure records and follow-up plans after each visit
An agent can draft notes from dictation. The specialist must confirm them, because they are legal records and they guide the next review or a referring GP.
Example agents: Grok Bot, Claude, Microsoft Copilot
Write referrals, investigation requests and letters to GPs or other clinicians
An agent can draft from the file. The specialist reviews every clinical detail before it goes out.
Send intake, consent and health-history forms before a first visit or a procedure
Forms can go out with the booking and be filed when signed, so a first visit or a pre-admission is not spent on paperwork.
Prepare invoices and Medicare or private-billing claims from the visit or procedure record
Item codes can be suggested from the record and checked before billing, which saves time at the end of a clinic or a procedure list.
Research
Look up current clinical guidance or a medicine or device note
An agent can find official guidance quickly. How it applies to this patient stays with the specialist.
Example agents: Manus
Customer chat
Assess the ear, nose or throat problem, discuss options and agree a plan, including any procedure
Examination, clinical judgement and a clear conversation about what to expect are the core of the job. This stays human.
Admin
