The 7 steps to open your independent medical practice # The 7 steps to open your independent medical practice Last updated on 20/11/2025 [Independent practice](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/blog/independent-practice/) ![how to open a medical practice in Switzerland](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%201024%20683'%3E%3C/svg%3E) Opening a medical practice in Switzerland gives you __autonomy, control over your work environment, and the freedom to deliver care on your terms__. To succeed, you’ll need a very practical, and yes, administrative approach: cantonal permits, legal framework, financing, day-to-day operations, and a solid digital presence. This 7-step guide is designed to help you __open your independent medical practice__ anywhere in Switzerland. ![👉](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f449.svg) [Give your new practice visibility with OneDoc Pro](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/needs/increase-visibility/) ## 1. Secure practising and opening permits Start by checking regulatory prerequisites: Switzerland’s system is strict to guarantee quality and patient safety. - __Recognition of qualifications__: have your diplomas validated by the Federal Office of Public Health (FOPH/BAG/UFSP). For foreign diplomas, equivalences or additional exams may be required. - __Registration in MedReg__ (Medical Professions Register). - __Cantonal licence__: each canton has its own rules for outpatient practice. Check local requirements (dossier, timelines, possible quotas, and language requirements in DE/FR/IT). - __Mandatory insurance__: at minimum professional liability (RC). Complement as needed (loss of income, legal protection). - __Extracts & attestations__: criminal record, proof of experience, and proof of the canton’s language proficiency where required. ## 2. Choose a strategic location for your needs Your address directly impacts patient flow, costs, and visibility. A large city offers reach but often higher rents and more competition. - __Accessibility__: proximity to public transport, parking, step-free access. Ensure clear, visible signage. - __Care ecosystem__: nearby hospitals, medical centres, or other practices can ease collaboration and referrals. - __Demographics & competition__: choose an area where your specialty meets real demand (families, ageing population, rural areas). - __Lease & standards__: review specific clauses (medical activity, hours, noise) and applicable standards (hygiene, radiation protection where relevant, medical waste storage). ## 3. Define the legal setup & data protection Setting up your practice involves several legal considerations to protect you and your patients. - __Legal form__: choose between __sole proprietorship, Sàrl/GmbH__ or __SA/AG__. A sole proprietorship is simpler to start; a Sàrl/GmbH or SA/AG offers stronger protection for personal assets. - __Contracts__: lease, employment contracts, service providers (lab, cleaning, medical-waste disposal), and device maintenance. - __Data protection (nFADP)__: implement concrete measures: - Secure medical software and [electronic health record](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/blog/all-specialties/electronic-patient-record-epr-safe-data-protection/) (encryption, access control, audit logs). - Internal procedures (confidentiality, role-based access). - Compliant vendors and secure hosting for health data. ## 4. Set up practice operations Next, equip your practice and hire your team. Key considerations: - __Medical equipment__: invest according to your specialty (e.g., dermatology lasers, diagnostics, sterilisation). If purchase costs are high, consider leasing. - __Practice management software__: use modern tools for scheduling, medical billing, and records. OneDoc offers integrated platforms so patients can [book online](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/hub/online-booking/) and access telemedicine, reducing your admin load. - __Qualified staff__: hire experienced medical assistants, nurses, and admin staff for reception, records, and daily operations. Provide training on your protocols and software. ![Vue d'une page profil d'une thérapeute complémentaire sur onedoc.ch](data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2000/svg'%20viewBox='0%200%20300%20178'%3E%3C/svg%3E "profil-therapeute-complementaire-onedoc-ch") #### OneDoc supports your launch | | | |--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | ![✅](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/2705.svg) [Profile on OneDoc](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/hub/onedoc-profile/) | ![✅](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/2705.svg) [Reserve with Google button](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/hub/book-online-google-button/) | | ![✅](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/2705.svg) [Online booking](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/hub/online-booking/) | ![✅](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/2705.svg) [Partner platforms](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/hub/partner-healthcare-platform/) | [Request a demo](https://info.onedoc.ch) ## 5. Build a robust financial plan A solid financial plan is critical from day one. Your business plan should include: - __Upfront investments (Capex)__: fit-out, equipment, IT, software, legal/accounting fees. Depending on the specialty, medical equipment can range from CHF 20,000 to CHF 100,000+. - __Recurring costs (Opex)__: rent/charges, salaries, insurance, consumables, external services (cleaning, hazardous medical waste, maintenance), telecom/IT. - __Revenue__: build on a target schedule (utilisation rate, mix of procedures, tariffs) and model multiple scenarios (conservative, base, ambitious). - __Cash__: plan 6–12 months of working capital, expected payment delays, and a continuity plan. - __Break-even__: calculate monthly consults needed to cover fixed costs. For a deeper dive, see our dedicated guide: [business plan for opening your medical practice](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/blog/independent-practice/business-plan-medical-practice-switzerland/). #### This is how much extra you can earn each month ![👇](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f447.svg) Use our revenue calculator to find out how much more you can earn each month with OneDoc. [Calculate now](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/profitability-calculator/) ## 6. Grow your digital presence & patient acquisition __Effective marketing is essential to attract patients__ in Switzerland’s competitive healthcare landscape—make your services easy to find and easy to book. - __Website__: present your services, team, availability, and location. Optimise for mobile and local SEO (postcode, municipality, specialty). If you use [Wix](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/blog/all-specialties/onedoc-appointment-booking-to-wix/) or [WordPress](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/blog/all-specialties/integrate-appointment-booking-on-wordpress/), add an online-booking widget. - __Google Business Profile__: [create your profile](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/blog/all-specialties/how-to-create-google-business-profile-for-healthcare-professionals/) to improve local search visibility—many patients search nearby first. - __Booking platforms__: make access simple with [24/7 online booking](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/hub/online-booking/); you’ll [reduce calls](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/needs/reduce-incoming-calls/) and [cut no-shows](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/needs/reduce-no-shows/). - __Right social channels__: choose those that fit your practice—LinkedIn (professional), Instagram/TikTok (education, behind-the-scenes)—always respecting ethics and confidentiality. ![👉](https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/svg/1f449.svg) [Attract new patients with OneDoc Pro](https://info.onedoc.ch/en/needs/get-new-patients/) ## 7. Ensure ongoing compliance & CME After opening, keep your compliance and skills up to date. - __Checks & audits__: maintain logs (hygiene, sterilisation, safety), contracts, and procedures. - __Continuing education (FMC/CME)__: plan your accredited courses, workshops, and conferences. - __Continuous improvement__: measure patient satisfaction and act on feedback. ## Open a medical practice in Switzerland Opening an independent medical practice in Switzerland is demanding but rewarding. __By following these steps, from permits to your digital presence, you lay solid foundations for growth__.
