FAQ

Should I wait for a routine appointment?

Unless you feel unable to manage for 24 hours without a doctor’s help, you should wait for the next available routine appointment. Routine appointments have the advantage of being 15 minutes in duration, with a chosen doctor, and can take an overview of your issues.

​

What is considered Appropriate Use of Urgent Care?

In rare cases where patients or families repeatedly seek urgent advice for non-urgent issues, they will be advised that they may no longer self book for urgent appointments. A doctor will provide education on how to appropriately manage health concerns and anxieties and when to seek help. This is not intended to punish patients but to ensure that they are being provided with the right type of care, as well as to maintain access to the limited number of urgent appointments available to the whole community.
