Virtual Care Opens Up In NS

The Health Department says everyone on the waiting list for a family doctor can now get free, online medical appointments through Virtual Care Nova Scotia.

It says people had to get an e-mail invitation to use VirtualCareNS in the past.

But it says, as of today, anyone on the Need a Family Practice registry can sign up for the service.

The service provides online appointments with a family doctor or nurse practitioner until people can be served by a practice in their community.

The Department says there are about 150 to 200 virtual appointments available each weekday between 9:00 in the morning and 4:00 in the afternoon and on Mondays until 7:00 at night.
