How to get a consultation: primary care health and social services
Getting a medical consultation with a health professional if you are taken care of by a group of doctors
Once registered on the waiting list (GAMF), the RAMQ may have informed you that you are taken care of by a group of doctors while waiting to be registered with a particular family doctor.
To get a medical consultation, you can contact the Primary Care Access Point (GAP).
How to get a medical consultation through the GAP
- By phone: 811, option 3
- Website: Digital Primary Care Access Point
The goal of the GAP is to provide access to the right service given by the right provider at the right time after a health professional has assessed your needs.
If you do need a consultation, you will be referred to the clinic to which you are assigned whenever possible. This consultation could be with a family doctor, but also with another health professional, such as a nurse, a social worker, a physiotherapist, or other professional.
The best service may therefore be to offer you health advice that you can apply at home (self care). It may also be to suggest that you talk to your pharmacist, if they have the information that best meet your needs.
