    Set up clinic locations

    Add one or more sites, optional appointment buffers, and keep the calendar and booking page in sync.

    Locations represent each clinic site you book against — a main clinic, a second branch, or a dedicated room suite. Once you add a second location, location filters appear on the calendar and patients can choose a site when booking online.

    Add a location

    1. Go to Settings → Calendar.
    2. Scroll to Locations.
    3. Enter Name (for example Main Clinic or Harley Street).
    4. The slug is generated automatically — used in booking links.
    5. Optional: add Address for your team’s reference and for patient emails.
    6. Click Add location.
    7. Repeat for each site, then Save settings at the bottom of the page.

    Settings → Calendar → Locations — add each site your clinic books at.

    Appointment buffer

    1. Edit a location under Settings → Calendar → Locations.
    2. Turn on Appointment buffer.
    3. Set Buffer after appointment (minutes) — for example 10.
    4. Save location, then Save settings at the bottom of the page.

    When editing a location — turn on Appointment buffer and set Buffer after appointment (minutes).

    Extra minutes are blocked on the calendar after each appointment at that site (travel or room turnover). Example: a 20-minute treatment with a 10-minute buffer uses a 30-minute block. Smart waitlist also uses this longer block when checking whether a freed slot fits.

    After you add locations

    • Assign locations on each clinician’s rota under Settings → Team.
    • Optional: tie a service to one location in Settings → Calendar → Services.
    • Admin → Calendar shows a Location filter when you have more than one site.
    • Your online booking page shows a location step for patients.
    • Booking confirmations and reminders can include location name and address — see Communications and email templates.

    Tip

    Build a booking link for one site only in Settings → Calendar — see Get your online booking link.
