Today we’ve made our maps of clinics in the UK and Ireland freely available for use on your own website. You can easily include a snippet of code on your pages to show a map of the dentists, doctors or other health clinics in your locality.

For instance, here is the snippet of code to show a map of general practice doctors in Brighton.

<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript">

document.write("<iframe src='http://www.revahealth.com/doctors/uk/east-sussex/brighton/externalmap' width='600' height='500' frameborder='0'></iframe>");

document.write("<span>Data provided by <a title='RevaHealth.com' href='http://www.revahealth.com'>RevaHealth.com</a><span>");

</script>

And here is how the map would appear on your page.

The map pins show the locations of the clinics. The prices shown are for a standard doctor consultation in the practice. You can pan around and zoom in and out to see more detail about the location of each practice, and click on each pin to see more practice information.

Using the maps on your own website is completely free and easy to do. You just need to add a small snippet of code to your page which pulls in the map and data from the RevaHealth.com server. You don’t need to be a programmer at all; anyone who can edit their own web page can do it easily.

The snippet can easily be changed to show any of the different kinds of clinics in the thousands of locations in Ireland and the UK which are covered in the RevaHealth database. You can contact us at the address below to see what types of clinics are available. For example, you could show Laser eye clinics in Stratford, Dental Clinics in Prestwick or GPs in Cork.

To do it yourself, just search for the URL of any set of clinics on RevaHealth.com as normal, and when you find the list you want, add /externalmap to the end and replace the URL in the example snippet above with the URL of your choice. Hey presto!

The clinic data is constantly being refreshed and updated by the team at RevaHealth.com and users can look up phone numbers or contact the clinics on-line.

The API is free to use, although we do ask you to show the source of the data beside the map on your site with a link to RevaHealth.com. The code snippet above includes the link:

Data provided by RevaHealth.com

which you can change if needs be. If you are interested in putting these maps on your site or have any further enquiries, please contact us at support@revahealth.com.

Last night we launched our latest build of RevaHealth.com which includes a couple of significant new features, one aimed at our visitors and the other at the health clinics that use our site.

Maps

Previously when you looked at the map page in our search results you were presented with just the clinics from the search result. While this made some sense, it wasn’t particularly useful as we had to make the maps static in order to keep page load times down.

Ideally, we wanted the maps to be another way for people to search for clinics, which meant making them interactive again. To do this, and not impact on our page load time, we split each map off onto it’s own page, which has the added benefit of giving them their own URL so we can SEO the map pages separately from the search results pages.

Our map pages are now active. For example, take a look at our map of doctors in Cork city. If you’re from Cork, or in Cork, you should be able to tell at a glance if there’s a doctor near where you are. Where we have the information, we’ve added the price of a general consultation to the map. You can click through to the contact form for each clinic or view their full listing directly from the map too.

As with all new features, we’ll be looking closely at how our visitors use the map to see what we can do to improve it over time, but for now we’re happy to provide what we hope will be another useful service for the public.

Two New Levels of Membership for Health Clinics

We have received a tremendous amount of interest from single professional clinics, such as physiotherapists and general practitioners. They want more than just our Free Listing but don’t have the demand to justify a Pro Listing, and to date we haven’t had a listing to match their requirements. Our new Solo Listing will hopefully be of some interest to these clinics. We have also introduced an Ultimate Listing for large clinics demanding the highest levels of promotion.

Solo Listing

Solo Listings are available to clinics with a single health practitioner treating patients outside of the fields of dentistry and cosmetic surgery. The benefits of a Solo Listing include larger search results, unlimited email enquires and the removal of external advertising from the clinic’s brochure. Solo Listings cost €20 per month or €200 per year.

Ultimate Listing

The Ultimate Listing gives clinics much more than Pro membership. Search results are larger and the clinic is promoted on the front page of RevaHealth.com. In addition to the normal search listing the clinic is also advertised on the right of the page for all relevant search results. Ultimate Listings are available from €750 a month or €7,500 annually.
