The Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre is encouraging patients to use its online appointment system. The system covers outpatient clinics and radiology services. It aims to make access to care easier and faster.

In addition, patients can submit appointment requests at any time. The service runs 24 hours a day and seven days a week. As a result, patients no longer need to visit the hospital in person to start the booking process.

Once a request is submitted, hospital staff review the information. After that, a team member contacts the patient directly. They confirm the appointment details and provide further instructions if needed.

Hospital officials say the system improves convenience for patients. It also helps reduce waiting time at the facility. Furthermore, it streamlines the booking process for both patients and staff.

Importantly, the service is designed for outpatient clinic appointments and radiology services. Patients can access the request form through the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre website.

In addition, officials say the online system supports better organisation of patient flow. It also allows the hospital to manage demand more efficiently.

The hospital continues to encourage patients to use digital services where possible. This shift supports modern healthcare delivery and improves overall access to care across Antigua and Barbuda.

As healthcare demand grows, officials say digital tools will play a bigger role. Therefore, more services may move online in the future to improve efficiency and patient experience.
