Health care

How do I find a family doctor or a walk-in clinic?

Register on the Health Connect Registry (online or 8-1-1) to be matched with a family doctor or nurse practitioner. Until then, use the Urgent and Primary Care Centre, walk-in clinics, or call 8-1-1 for nurse advice.

Checked October 1, 2026. Numbers update on their own.

The Health Connect Registry is the provincial waitlist for a family doctor or nurse practitioner. While you wait:

  • Urgent and Primary Care Centre (Northern Health) for same-day care that is not an emergency.
  • Walk-in clinics in the directory; hours change often, so call first.
  • 8-1-1 (HealthLink BC) for a nurse, pharmacist or dietitian, any time.
  • 9-1-1 or the UHNBC emergency department for emergencies.
