Doctor services online or over the phone often have appointments available on the same day. You do not need to be enrolled to use some of them. They are a good option if your usual doctor or nurse cannot fit you in. There will be a cost.

Note:
You should not come to our facilities as a visitor or support person if you are unwell. We encourage you to wear a surgical or medical mask when visiting and ask that you clean your hands with the alcohol-based hand gel we provide.
Patients can have more than one visitor except in some situations, for example rooms with more than one patient where it can cause overcrowding.
All of our facilities are smoke and vape free. If you are a patient we encourage you to discuss quitting smoking with your doctor or nurse.
