After Hours GP Urgent Care is a service where patients can see a doctor after hours and receive care without the need to wait in a busy emergency department for a minor injury or illness – some service providers will even come to your home!
What is the difference between Emergency and Urgent Care?
An Emergency Department treats life threatening or limb threatening health conditions.
Urgent Care is the middle ground between your primary care provider and the Emergency Department. If you have a minor illness or injury that can’t wait until tomorrow, then you need Urgent Care. An Urgent Care service provides quality care like an Emergency Department.
Examples of Non Emergency Urgent Care
- Skin and soft tissue infections and symptoms, such as cuts and lacerations, mild burns and rashes, bites and insect stings
- Musculoskeletal injuries such as minor fractures, sports injuries and minor neck and back pain
- Other potentially urgent medical symptoms such as urinary tract infections, wound infections, abdominal pain, respiratory infection and sickness.
