Nurse-led clinic
From 29 May 2023, the Gumeracha District Soldiers’ Memorial Hospital Nurse-Led Clinic will provide care for people living in Gumeracha and the Torrens Valley region presenting with urgent, non-emergency care needs.
The clinic provides the local community timely access to urgent, non-emergency care, including access to virtual medical support when required.
This service provides urgent care after hours for illnesses and injuries - similar to those which would be managed at a GP clinic – when patients are unable to see their usual doctor.
This is not an emergency service. In the case of a life-threatening illness or injury, ring 000 or attend your closest emergency department (either Mount Barker, Gawler or Modbury hospitals).
