If you need urgent care, your first step is to register as a patient.

- Call the South Delta After-Hours Urgent and Primary Care Centre.
or - Go to the South Delta After-Hours Urgent and Primary Care Centre. Please note: Going in person instead of calling first does not mean you will get help faster. People with the most urgent medical concerns are helped first.
2. Speak to an urgent care nurse
After you register, the next step is to speak to an urgent care nurse. A nurse will call you on the phone within 24 hours. Most people are called within two hours. The nurse will ask you more questions about your health concern.
3. Get the care you need
The nurse may ask you to come to the South Delta After-Hours Urgent and Primary Care Centre service at a certain time to see a member of the care team. Or, the nurse may give you suggestions for how you can get the care you need.
Call 9-1-1 or go to the Emergency Department for serious symptoms like chest pain, head injuries or a broken bone.
