Urgent and Primary Care Centres provide care for people without a Primary Care Provider, who are not able to access their regular provider in a timely manner. A UPCC has a team of doctors, nurse practitioners, medical office assistants, nurses, social workers, life skills worker, and physiotherapists working together to provide team-based care for patients.
Physiotherapists play a crucial part in providing assessment, treatment planning and implementation, program planning, consultation, equipment prescription and education to patients and/or their caregivers. Operating within a client-centered approach and as an essential member of our interdisciplinary team, you make a substantial contribution to promote functional independence and enable patients to achieve and maintain optimal health outcomes.
