UCC: Frequently Asked Questions:
Why should I go to the Urgent Care Centre instead of the Emergency?
When a condition is not life threatening but serious enough that
you prefer prompt attention, the UCC is a safe and reliable alternative.
We offer timely, one-stop care of most urgent medical problems.
Above all, at our centre, you receive a high standard of personalized
care.
How is this different from a Walk-in Clinic?
The UCC at False Creek will provide direct access to physicians
who specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of acute injuries,
conditions, and illnesses. With our advanced diagnostic imaging
and bedside laboratory testing, we provide rapid diagnosis and
subsequent treatment options. As well, we can offer referral
to our extensive specialist consultation and surgical services.
Do you provide scans, x-rays, and lab tests?
Yes, we provide advanced diagnostics imaging such as Dual Energy
Digital X-Ray, MRI, CT, 3-D & 4-D Ultrasound, and Echo Cardiograms.
Blood collection and analysis are provided on site as well.
Who are your Physicians and Medical Team?
Physicians and Registered Nurses work onsite to provide personalized
private care. Our Urgent Care Centre has direct access to the
Surgical Centre’s complete roster of specialists and surgeons
for direct referral and follow up care. |
