Not all urgencies are emergencies

Not all urgencies are emergencies

A large network of GP practices within the Perth metropolitan area provide GP urgent care services to patients so they receive the most appropriate care without the need to attend an emergency department.

Minor injuries and illness that can be treated at a GP urgent care clinic include:

• musculoskeletal and orthopaedic injuries
• gastrointestinal illnesses
• illnesses of the eye, ear, nose and throat
• stings, bites, rashes and wound infections
• abrasions and minor lacerations.
