Referrals are not required. The UPCC is an urgent care centre and does not take appointments. Patients can present to the UPCC and be seen on the same day. Patients presenting to the UPCC are triaged and seen according to their urgency.

Please note: An Urgent Primary Care Centre is not an emergency room. It cannot treat patients with serious illnesses or injuries such as broken bones, chest pains or head injuries. Patients with serious conditions should continue to attend their nearest hospital emergency room or call 9-1-1 as needed.
