The trained machine module (104) is configured to calculate an attendance failure probability (117) for the future clinic schedule; and the clinic schedule module is configured to overbook the future clinic schedule by a number of patients calculated in accordance with the attendance failure probability to generate an attendance probability optimised clinic schedule.
