Clinics | Research | Staff | Audio Presentations | Medication

The Urgent Care Clinic (UCC) is staffed by psychiatrists and mental health clinicians who specialize in crisis management. Patients suitable for referral to the Urgent Care Clinic are those who are not in need of immediate hospitalization or emergency department assessment, but are unable to wait weeks for an outpatient assessment. Referrals often come through the UHN Emergency Departments. Family physicians and other specialists may also refer patients in crisis who do not have current psychiatric follow-up, including those expressing suicidal or self-harm ideation.

The clinic operates Monday through Friday and psychiatrists are available for assessment on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Using a biopsychosocial approach, the team makes an assessment and offers recommendations; these may include referral to a community resource for ongoing care or short-term follow-up within the clinic. The UCC also provides a "bridging" function for people whose long-term follow-up is either interrupted or has not yet been arranged
