Urgent Care
We Offer Urgent Care Service
At CRVMC, we do cater for urgent but non-life-threatening injuries or illnesses to be seen without a booked appointment and we provide a designated on-call doctor for this purpose from Monday to Friday 8.30am to 5.00pm, as well as Saturday 8.30am to 12.00pm.
We offer treatment for a wide range of urgent medical problems including:
Minor infections (e.g. UTI and gastroenteritis)
Minor musculoskeletal and orthopaedic injuries (e.g. sprain and fractures)
Minor burns
Minor cuts needing glue or stitches
Minor eye, ear, and skin infections
Insect bites, stings, rashes
All patients requiring our urgent care service are first seen by our practice nurse to triage the priority. We endeavour to attend to all patients in a timely fashion but there are times when more serious medical problems take priority and this may result in a longer than normal waiting time. We do appreciate your understanding in these matters.
If you or someone you know has a life-threatening medical illness or injury, please call 000 for help or go to the Emergency Department at Collie District Hospital immediately.
