Come work as a Primary Care Nurse with Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH)
Vancouver Coastal Health is looking for a Registered Nurse to join the South East Urgent Primary Care Centre (UPCC) team in Vancouver, BC. Apply today to join our team
As a Primary Care Nurse with VCH you will:
ABOUT URGENT AND PRIMARY CARE CENTRES:
Urgent and Primary Care Centres (UPCC) will provide care for people with unexpected, non-life-threatening conditions who need medical attention within 12-24 hours but who don't require a visit to the emergency department – this includes sprains, cuts and wounds, an infection, mild asthma attack and less serious child illness and injury. The multidisciplinary health care team will be staffed by general practitioners, nurse practitioners, registered nurses and social workers.
UPCCs are intended to be an additional service in the community, working in concert with all touch points for care to provide appropriate urgent services to patients, when and where they need it. They do not replace your Emergency nor your Family Physician access rather enhance access to urgent primary care when your doctor is not available and where you do not need emergency level care.
