(Lines busy)Thank you for calling [Practice Name]. All of our staff are helping other patients right now. Please leave your name, date of birth, phone number, and the reason for your call, and we'll call you back today. If this is an emergency, hang up and dial [Emergency Number].

Coaching notes
- The emergency instruction comes first for a reason. Read 'please hang up and dial [Emergency Number]' with calm authority: clear, a little slower, never alarming.
- 'Name, date of birth, phone number, and the reason for your call' is a list patients will try to remember. Give each item a brief pause.
- These callers may be anxious or unwell. Keep your pitch steady and warm, and skip the bright, upbeat lift you'd use for a shop.
Try it three more ways
- Read it for a pediatric clinic, a little softer and friendlier for worried parents.
- Read it for a busy specialist practice: efficient and crisp, but still kind.
- Record it at a noticeably slower pace for older patients, then compare the two takes.
