Are there any qualifications needed to book a space?
Our main mission is to provide a physical space for health and wellness. Any medical practitioner or professional related to healthcare industry such as doctors (allopathic/ naturopathic/ ayurvedic/ homeopathic etc.), nurses, therapists, nutritionists, physical health professionals, dentists, various health specialists like dermatologists, physiotherapists, etc, can use this place as they see fit during their booked time slots.
We encourage every healthcare professional to feel at home at House of Cure.
Is there any eligibility criteria to book a space?
The only eligibility criteria to book a slot is that you need to be a healthcare professional. You don’t necessarily need to have an existing private practice or any minimum years of experience. We only ask for a copy of your qualification degree, address proof, and an existing resume or previous work record, if any. You will be required to sign an agreement contract when you sign up with us for the first time.
Is any particular type of practice considered exclusive?
No. House of Cure is a medical co-working space and we are open to every practice our space is a good fit for. We believe that every health-related practice is unique, but we don’t offer exclusivity to any practice.
What about patient / practitioner data privacy?
Due to the multi-practice sharing nature of the medical office space we provide, we do not provide for paper filing of patient records. All patient records are the responsibility of each practitioner and are to be stored electronically or off-site. If you are a gold or platinum member, you can avail of our in house patient management software which has designated login id s and passwords for each operating user. It is enabled with complete medical history/ treatment record privacy even when two operators work on the same patient they can only enter or edit treatment done by them individually for that particular patient. Each practice type may be subject to different regulations regarding patient confidentiality and it is your responsibility to comply with any regulations applicable to your practice.

Duration / Slots
What term length do I need to commit to?
House of Cure is a co-working space for healthcare professionals and we believe in flexibility. We want to keep you stress-free from the troublesome rental commitments, hence we don’t have any strict monthly or annual agreements and you can book for as little as just one hour! We follow an hourly slot system which can be booked as per your needs, subject to availability.
You can also pre-book multiple hourly slots in advance to avail various complimentary services and schedule your appointments with your patients well in advance. Refer to the membership table for further information on the types of memberships available.
If you want to add any time blocks, you can do that at any time with no minimum notice required based on slot availability. If you want to reduce time blocks, that will require a 1-week prior notice.
Can I use the space on an irregular basis?
House of Cure allows you to book hourly slots with no fixed weekly or monthly minimums, for members as well as non-members. This works well for practitioners who only need space for occasional or irregular use or with more flexibility than a fixed weekly block.
With a membership (optional), however, you can save on the hourly booking rate and get additional benefits.
As a member, is there any weekly / monthly format I need to follow?
You can book rooms on our private member portal. Bookings are completely flexible as per your requirement. You can book for any room, any day, any hour, subject to availability. For instance, if you opt for the Classic membership, 33 hours can be used in any preferable combination.
You can also choose to add weekly time blocks to your membership, and those hourly slots can be automatically booked for you on a weekly recurring basis. However, this is completely optional.
Adding weekly time blocks comes with the following advantages:
- It guarantees that you will have a specific room reserved for you every week at the same time (it serves as a physical address for your practice and becomes much more convenient for your patients to remember your regular practice address and time)
- You will lock in lower per-hour pricing on your bookings
You can even change the days later on, subject to availability. Please contact us for more information on this.
You can, in addition to your weekly blocks, book additional hours on different days through our member portal. These additional hours would be billed at the current PAY AS YOU GO hourly rate. This will ensure that you have a hybrid of fixed weekly time blocks and variable PAY AS YOU GO slots, as needed.
Will I be allotted the same room every time?
If you have subscribed to gold/ platinum membership or booked fixed weekly recurring blocks well in advance, you can use the same room every time. The respective room will be blocked out for you automatically during your designated time blocks.
If you are booking on a PAYG (pay as you go) hourly basis, you can book any room based on availability. However, weekly block members will have priority over PAYG hourly members and so PAYG bookings may be subject to change in room assignment – but this is rare.
