Clinic Information
Patients who require medical attention within 12 to 24 hours can receive care at UPCCs for conditions including but not limited to the following:
- High fevers
- Sprains and strains caused by minor accidents and falls
- Minor bleeding or cuts that require stitches

If you have a serious condition that requires immediate care, including broken bones, chest pain and head injuries, visit the UHNBC emergency room or call 9-1-1 (or local emergency services in your community).
The PG UPCC can respond if you have an urgent mental health and/or substance use concern. We will coordinate appointments to mental health and substance use clinicians and primary care nurses as needed. These appointments will be for managing your immediate needs and connecting you back to your regular health care team.
What to expect when visiting the PG UPCC
- UPCC patients are registered on arrival and triaged by a nurse; patients will be seen in order of urgency, not in order of arrival
- Depending on a patient’s needs, they may be seen the same day by a physician, nurse practitioner, nurse, or other health professional that day, OR be sent to the UHNBC emergency department
- Some appointments will be provided remotely by teleconference and/or videoconference
- Some patients may be booked for an appointment the following day or referred to see their family physician, pharmacist, or other community resource.
If you do not have a primary care provider and are looking for a family doctor or nurse practitioner please register online here.
- Please review these GENERAL TIPS about how to prepare for a video or telephone appointment with your provider.
