Walk-in & patient booking

Let patients register at the door with a QR, or book themselves with a link.

Nimo gives you two no-login ways to get patients into the system without typing everything yourself: a walk-in QR for the front desk, and booking links for patients to book remotely.

Walk-in QR registration

Put up your practice's walk-in QR code (you can print it from Nimo). A patient arriving at the clinic scans it and fills in a short form — name, date of birth, mobile, and gender — registering themselves in seconds. No account, no password.

This is ideal for a busy reception: the queue fills in their own details while you keep things moving.

A booking link lets a specific patient book an appointment with a chosen doctor, from their own phone.

  1. Open the patient's detail page and find the Booking link card.
  2. Pick the doctor, then Create booking link.
  3. Share it by Copy or Send on WhatsApp.

When the patient opens the link, they confirm their date of birth to prove it's them, then pick a slot. The appointment arrives as a request for you to confirm.

Good to know

  • Booking links need a date of birth on file. If the patient has no DOB recorded, the card is disabled — add their date of birth first.
  • Links are short-lived and single-use. A booking link works for about two hours and for one booking; create a fresh one for the next appointment.
  • Five wrong date-of-birth tries lock a link, which keeps a stranger from guessing their way in.
  • These flows are additive — patients who have the full portal keep using it as before.

Once a request comes in, confirm it from Appointments & check-in.
