Sign up for the Health Connect Registry Today for a Family Physician or Nurse Practitioner
The BC Ministry of Health is working to strengthen the health care system to ensure that everyone in the province who needs a primary care provider gets one. Part of that work is the Health Connect Registry (HCR) – a simple online tool available to people who live in British Columbia to register for a primary care provider, either a family doctor or a nurse practitioner in their community. The HCR is hosted by HealthLink BC.
Anyone living in B.C. can register themselves, their family, and/or an individual in their care. Registration requires name, address, a B.C. Personal Health Number, and information about the individual’s recent health and attachment preferences. If you are registering someone else, you need their consent to do so. Registration is available at HealthLinkBC.ca/health-connect-registry or by calling 8-1-1.
If you already have a family doctor or nurse practitioner, you do not need to register for the HCR. Continue to engage with your family doctor or nurse practitioner for your health care needs.
And if you have already registered on the former GP Link system, there is no need to register again.
If you do not have a family doctor or nurse practitioner and you live in North Vancouver, West Vancouver, or Bowen Island, please register for the Health Connect Registry (the Patient Attachment Waitlist) online. You can read more North Shore specific directions by clicking the button below.
Once you have registered on the Health Connect Registry, our office will contact you by email when we have a family doctor available that fits your needs.
If you have any questions, you can reach us at patientservices@nsdivision.ca
