Urgent Primary Care Centres (UPCCs) provide access to same-day, urgent, non-emergency health care. UPCCs are often open evening, weekends and statutory holidays (actual hours vary by clinic). UPCCs provide an alternative to visiting an emergency department for non-emergency issues.

For example, patients who require medical attention within 12 to 24 hours for something like a sprain, minor cut or burn can visit an Urgent Primary Care Centre.
