Primary Care Clinics

A primary care clinic provides short-term primary medical care for people on the Need a Family Practice Registry.

  • Your appointment may be provided in-person or virtually depending on your needs and the resources available at each clinic.
  • Primary care clinics do not offer walk-in services. All appointments must be pre-booked, and are for people who do not have a family doctor or nurse practitioner.
  • If you do not have a primary care provider, please add your name to the Need a Family Practice Registry online.
  • People on the registry, including those who are patients of a primary care clinic, are assisted with finding a primary care provider in their area when Nova Scotia Health is aware of family practices accepting new patients.

The Bayer’s Lake Primary Care Clinic sees both attached patients who are taken from the Need A Family Practice Registry and unattached patients who are referred to a primary care clinic such as Bayer’s Lake. Unattached patients are referred directly from the VirtualCareNS platform.
