Booking Process

Simple Steps for Medical Students to Find Their Perfect Homestay

How it works – Medical Student & Doctor Accommodation

Finding the right homestay for your medical studies or placement is crucial to your success. As specialists in medical student accommodation, we understand the unique demands of clinical training and have developed a booking process that prioritises your educational needs.

Getting Started

  • Which medical institution you’re attending
  • Your clinical rotation patterns or work schedule
  • Length of your medical placement or study period
  • Your preferred meal plan based on your schedule
  • Any specific requirements

Many of our hosts have years of experience accommodating medical students and understand the demands of hospital placements and medical training.

Our Medical Student Matching Process

Our team specialises in matching medical students with suitable host families. We consider:

  • Proximity to major London teaching hospitals and medical institutions
  • Travel routes to your placement location
  • Host families who understand medical training schedules
  • Study-friendly home environments
  • Flexible meal arrangements for varying schedules

We’ll send you profiles of hosts who have successfully accommodated medical students previously. Each profile includes detailed information about travel times to your medical institution, local transport links, and study facilities available.

Confirming Your Stay

Once you’ve chosen your preferred options, we move quickly to secure your accommodation. We understand that medical placements often have tight timeframes, and we’ll work efficiently to confirm your booking.

Before Your Arrival

After confirmation, you can contact your host to discuss:

  • Your specific rotation schedule
  • Any early morning or late night requirements
  • Meal timing preferences
  • Local transport to your medical institution
