Running More Than One Clinic: A Guide for Doctors Who Work in Several Places

A practical guide for doctors who own more than one clinic or branch, or who own a clinic and also work at someone else's center: schedules in several places, a cash drawer and books per clinic, shared staff, online booking and consultations, and who sees what.

Quick Answer

Give each clinic its own schedule, cash drawer and books, fix your days in each place in advance, close your own clinic's booking when you are elsewhere, and review your clinics together from one overview. At a center someone else owns, its data stays with it and yours with you.

Few doctors in Egypt work in just one place. A common week is your own clinic most days, plus a day or two at a medical center, a second branch in a nearby town, or a shared clinic with colleagues. Each place has its own appointments, patients, cash and way of paying you.

This guide is not about large clinic chains. It is for the ordinary doctor who moves between places and wants to know where their patients and money are. If you are looking for the software itself, the multi-clinic management page explains what TabeebHub offers.

Two different situations

Before organising anything, separate two cases, because each has its own rules:

  • You own more than one clinic or branch. Every decision is yours: prices, staff, the cash drawer. You want to see all your clinics together without mixing their books.
  • You own a clinic and also work at a clinic or center someone else owns. There you are a doctor on a team. The data, the cash and the prices belong to the owner, and you see what your role allows.

Many doctors are in both situations at once, and that is normal.

Appointments: one schedule in your head, one per place

The classic problem: a patient books your clinic on Tuesday, and on Tuesday you are at the center.

  • Fix your days in each place and write them down. Do not change them without telling reception in both places.
  • Set working hours for each clinic separately, and add closed days and special hours for holidays and conferences.
  • Do not book from memory. Any exception that is not in the schedule will cause a clash.

In TabeebHub each clinic has its own working hours, closed days and special hours, and they are the same hours patients book from online. Close a day at your clinic and it stops appearing for booking.

Money: one cash drawer per clinic

Mixing two branches' cash in one drawer is the quickest way to stop knowing which branch makes money. The rule is one drawer per clinic, opened, closed and counted separately, with each clinic's own expenses.

In TabeebHub every clinic has its own drawer and reports, and each clinic counts its day in its own time zone. If you own several clinics, the business overview brings them together: totals, each clinic on its own, and your doctors across clinics. A clinic you work at but do not own never enters your reports.

Staff shared between your clinics

A receptionist who covers both branches, or an assistant who moves with you, is very common. What matters is that they:

  • sign in with one account, not one per branch;
  • see only the clinics you added them to, with their role's permissions;
  • record every booking and payment against the right clinic.

In TabeebHub a staff member uses one account across every clinic you added them to, and picks the clinic on each page or views all their clinics together.

When you work at a center someone else owns

If the center uses TabeebHub and adds you to its team, you sign in with your usual account and see both your clinic and the center. Keep three things in mind:

  1. The center's data belongs to the center. Its patients and books do not appear in your clinic, and your clinic's patients do not appear there.
  2. Your pay there is calculated by the center's owner under your agreement, whether a percentage or a fixed amount. Agree the basis in writing (a share of cash collected, of the billed amount, or a fixed sum) and review the statement with them each month.
  3. Your seat there is on the center's plan, not yours.

Online booking and consultations

Patients do not know your timetable and should not have to ask every time:

  • Your public page, once your account is verified and the page is published, lists your clinics, and each clinic has a booking link with its own hours. Share each clinic's link with its patients.
  • The center you work at has its own page and booking.
  • Online consultations have a single door for you as a doctor, however many clinics you have. You choose the clinic consultations are recorded under, and you can take them from anywhere.

The details are on the online booking page.

A second branch, or a medical center?

If what you have in mind is other doctors working with you in the same place, that is a medical center or a shared clinic, not a branch. The difference matters for the books: a center needs doctor percentages, monthly statements and per-doctor performance. The medical center software page covers that side.

What does it cost?

TabeebHub starts with a permanent free plan for one clinic. Running more than one clinic under your account needs a paid plan, and the number of clinics and staff differs between plans; see the pricing page. Working at a center someone else owns needs no extra plan from you.

FAQ

Can I run my own clinic and work at another center with the same account?

Yes, if the center uses TabeebHub and adds you to its team. You sign in with your usual account and see your clinic and the center, and each place's data stays separate.

Will the center's owner see my clinic's patients?

No. Each clinic's patients and books belong to that clinic. The owner sees their center only, and at the center you see what your role allows.

Do I need a paid plan?

If you own more than one clinic under your account, yes. If you own one clinic and work at someone else's center, the free plan covers your clinic and your seat at the center is on the center's plan.

How do patients know where I am today?

Give each clinic a booking link with its own hours, and let your public page list your clinics. A patient picks the clinic and only sees the times available there.

Which clinic are online consultations recorded under?

You have one consultation door however many clinics you have. You choose one clinic to record consultations under, and you can take them from anywhere.
