Need a Family Practice Registry

The Need a Family Practice Registry supports Nova Scotians who are looking for a primary care provider (family doctor or nurse practitioner).

If you do not have a primary care provider, or your provider is moving, retiring, or closing their practice, there are two ways you can request to join the registry:

  1. Register online by clicking the Register/Update button below.
  2. Register by phone by calling 811, Monday through Friday, from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. You must choose this option if you are new to Nova Scotia and do not have a Nova Scotia Health Card.
