BSHS’s Urgent Care Centres operate 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Our Urgent Care Centres are a walk in service for people with minor illnesses and injuries requiring immediate attention. The centres are staffed 24 hours a day by our nurses. Depending on your clinical needs, the nurse may consult with one of our GPs or with My Emergency Doctor (an off-site telehealth service). Our nurses are highly trained Registered Nurses who maintain annual Advanced Cardiac Life Support accreditation and advanced assessment capabilities. We also have a small number of Rural and Isolated Practice Registered Nurses (RIPRNs). RIPRNS are nurses who can administer a small, and controlled amount of medications without the prescription of a GP or Health Service doctor.
