Important factors for finding your urgent care property

Written by Guest Author | Mar 28, 2023 11:00:00 PM

In recent years, more urgent care clinics have opened around the country to help take the pressure off hospital emergency departments.

Looking to start your own urgent care clinic? There are many considerations from property acquirement, funding, design elements, construction and fitout, according to Interite Healthcare Interiors.

Interite believes that starting with finding the right property can significantly maximise your business goals. Related to this is getting your business model and strategy drafted. After all, it will be essential to the successful implementation of any practice.

When starting your new urgent care clinical space, Interite says it’s imperative to consider the following:

The community

"Where are the needs and in what communities?" Really thinking about this challenge will define the best location for your future urgent care facility. It will also assist in tailoring your services and recruiting the right staff to service the needs of that community. Starting an urgent care facility in a smaller city is big news – avoid the mistake of setting up a business where urgent care already exists.

Lease/property negotiations

  • Does your current GP practice allow for expansion or renovation?
  • Will the local council allow the change?
  • Would it be more beneficial to relocate and build the design into a new space?

Minimising fitout costs

Ensure you thoroughly inspect any new property before you sign on the dotted line. The existing infrastructure could have a big or small impact on your fitout budget.
