Measles and other Viral Symptoms (Mumps / Chickenpox / Flu)
If you think that you or your child has measles, please tell us at the Reception Desk immediately upon arrival.
Please wear a mask (available at Reception Desk), practice safe cough etiquette & wash your hands.
If you have any other viral symptoms (including sore throat, runny nose, headache or fever) or unexplained new rash associated with swollen glands or a temperature, please do not walk in to a clinic - call us to make an appointment.
Our aim is to treat you at your earliest convenience and in the right environment. Our urgent care clinic for minor illnesses and injuries operates on a walk-in-basis.
If you have an illness or any viral symptoms please call us first as a telephone consultation with one of our urgent care doctors or nurses may be more appropriate.
