About Kamloops North Shore Urgent and Primary Care Centre (UPCC)

The North Shore Urgent and Primary Care Centre (UPCC) provides team-based care for non-emergency health concerns to individuals within the North Shore and surrounding communities who require same-day attention.

If you have a health emergency that requires immediate care, call 911 or present at the nearest emergency department.

Care is available for concerns such as:

  • Minor injuries
  • Sprains and strains
  • Infections
  • Less serious child illness and injury 
  • High fever
  • Cuts, wounds, or skin conditions

  • Family physician (FP)
  • Nurse practitioner (Np)
  • Registered nurse (RN)
  • Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN)
