Same-Day “RAT” Appointments – For Patients Attached to a Family Doctor at Medical Arts Centre

What Are RAT Appointments?

RATs (Rapid Access Team appointments) are same-day bookings available only to patients who have a family doctor at our clinic.

These appointments are designed for:

  • Urgent medical concerns needing prompt attention
  • Reviewing test results
  • Prescription renewals
  • Other routine, single-issue concerns

Important:
RAT appointments are brief and are meant to address one concern only.
If you have multiple issues, your doctor may prioritize the most urgent one and help schedule follow-up care.

Not appropriate for:
Form completion (e.g., insurance forms, disability forms, etc.)

How to Book a RAT Appointment:
Call on the day your doctor is working to book a same-day appointment.

Appointment Line: 250-741-0447
(Monday to Friday, 8:30 AM – 5:00 PM)

Please note: These spots are limited and not guaranteed. Calling early improves your chances of getting an appointment.
