The search field, the city and specialty filters, sorting, the map, and your position which stays optional.
The directory gathers the clinics open on Noresia. You reach it from the site menu, through the "Find a clinic" link. Under the title, a counter announces how many clinics answer your search, and it updates on every change.
The field is called "Clinic or practitioner" and it expects a name: a clinic's name, or the name of a practitioner who consults there. A few letters are enough, and the middle of a name is found just as well as its beginning.
This field does not search cities, specialties or services. Those are the job of the filters sitting right beside it, and browsing by city or specialty shows the other route to the same list.
There is no button to press: the list is recomputed while you type, after a very short pause.
Open the directory
The "Find a clinic" link sits in the site menu. The page shows the available clinics straight away, before you type anything at all.
Type a name, if you have one
The name of the clinic or of the practitioner you are looking for. If no name comes to mind, leave the field empty and go straight to the filters.
Narrow it down with the city and the specialty
Choose your city under "City", then one or more entries under "Specialties". Each choice applies at once, with no confirmation to give.
Open the clinic that suits you
"View the clinic" opens its full page, described in reading a clinic page. "Book an appointment" takes you straight to booking.
Every card already carries the next available times. Tapping one opens booking and holds that time for a few minutes, which is the time held for you.
| Filter | What it does |
|---|---|
| City | One city at a time. The list covers every city in the catalog, including those where no clinic has opened yet. |
| Specialties | Several at a time. A clinic stays on screen as soon as it offers one of the chosen specialties, not necessarily all of them. |
| Sort by | The order of the results, detailed in the next section. |
The "Reset" button appears only while at least one filter is active. It empties the text, the city and the specialties, and it puts sorting back on "Relevance".
The page address keeps your filters. So you can bookmark it or send it to somebody: the same search reopens exactly as you left it.
The "Sort by" menu offers three orders, and the line above the results states the one in force, for instance "Sorted by relevance".
Results arrive in pages of 6. The navigation at the foot of the list carries the page numbers and a "Next" link.
On a large screen, the map takes the side column under the title "Map of clinics · Algeria". On a phone it becomes a strip above the results: it announces how many clinics are placed on it, and it opens full height through "Expand the map".
The map shows the clinics of the current page whose address sits on the plan. When none of them carries a point, it says so: "No clinic on this page has a location".
Under the map, "Active cities" lists the cities holding the most clinics, each with its number, in the shape "Algiers · 12". One click filters the directory on the chosen city.
If the map shows "The map is momentarily unavailable", your results stay complete and only the plan is missing. The state of the services is read on following the state of the service.
On your first visit, the question "Where are you looking for a clinic ?" appears. It offers three answers, and none of them is compulsory.
Around me · the device's position
The browser asks for your permission, then measures your position. It serves only to bring the nearest clinics to the front.
In a specific city
You pick a city from the list. No browser permission is asked for, and the search settles on that city.
Continue without a location
The directory opens whole, in its default order. Closing the window comes to exactly the same thing.
Image markers
The bar above the results always states where you stand: "Searching in Algiers", "Results ranked around your position", or "No location set". The button beside it reads "Set my position" while nothing is set, and "Change" afterwards.
If the browser blocks location, the page says so and switches to the city: "The browser is blocking location · allow it for this site, or choose your city below." You can also choose the city from the start, without ever touching that permission.
The page says it plainly: "No clinic found". It does not stop there, and it offers leads computed from your own filters:
If the directory stays empty while no filter is active, the message changes: "Clinics appear here as soon as they open on Noresia." Nothing needs correcting on your side then, the clinic you are looking for has not opened its online booking yet.
