Info for parents & caregivers:
- Even if your child has a Pediatrician, it’s important that your child continue to receive their primary care & regular check-ups with your family doctor, NP and/or midwife.
- Family doctors play a critical role in our health care system, acting as the central hub for managing health or illness for patients & their families.
- Your family doctor is often your first point of contact with the health care system when you need medical care or advice about your health throughout the different stages of your life.
- If your child's issue suddenly changes, worsens or new issues develop while they are waiting to see Dr. Nutter, we require a written update from your referring provider (may impact your child's wait time since urgent referrals and newborns/infants are prioritized).
If your family needs a family doctor...
- Register with the Health Connect Registry – if you live in British Columbia and need a family doctor or nurse practitioner, register using the Health Connect Registry using this link.
- Your local Division of Family Practice may have knowledge of which family physicians are accepting new patients: https://www.divisionsbc.ca or visit Pathways Medical Care Directory
PHARMACISTS also play an important role:
In BC, pharmacists can prescribe medications within the scope of the "Minor Ailments and Contraception Service" (MACS) program which includes prescription & over-the-counter medications for....
- Minor Ailments:
- Antibiotic medications for uncomplicated UTIs
- Antiviral medications for cold sores and shingles
- Topical medications for minor skin conditions like eczema and insect bites
- Anthelmintic medications for threadworms and pinworms
- Antihistamines for allergies and urticaria
- Contraception: Pharmacists can prescribe various forms of hormonal contraception.
- Pharmacists can also renew medications for all ongoing conditions, except cancer chemotherapy, for up to 24 months from the original prescription date.
- Pharmacists can also refill emergency medication up to a 90-day supply (at their discretion).
