Urgent care centres are staffed by emergency department-trained doctors and nurses and can provide you with faster access to a doctor, rather than waiting in the ER (based on average wait times). Urgent care centres allow access to services such as X-rays, ultrasounds (for certain conditions), and laboratory services (located off-site).
If you’re experiencing an illness or injury that isn’t an emergency but can’t wait for an appointment with a family doctor, an urgent care centre is a good option for you.
Examples of medical issues which require urgent care:
- minor cuts or wounds that may require stitches
- simple broken bones
- sprains, strains or deep bruises
- ear infections
- fevers, coughs, congestion, and sore throats
- insect bites, rashes and scrapes
