What is considered ‘acute’?
A condition that comes up suddenly is acute – including but not limited to a sore throat, ear/eye infection, rash, animal bite etc.
Chronic conditions (diabetes, high blood pressure, medication refills, form completions or annual physicals) are not considered urgent and should be managed through routine office appointments.
I work during the day; can I wait for the After-Hours Clinic to see my doctor?
No. the walk in clinic and physician line is intended for urgent/ acute after hours cases only. For regular health care phone call appointments, you must call and schedule an appointment with your doctor, or book your appointment online.
Can I talk to my own doctor at the Walk in clinic or After-Hour Physician Line?
Not necessarily, you will be connected to whichever physician is covering at the time.
I don’t have a doctor; can I call the After-Hours Physician Line?
No. Unfortunately, this service is for AFHT rostered patients only.
