How to Register for the Richmond Family Doctor Waitlist?
Before you begin, have your Personal Health Number (PHN) ready for yourself and anyone in your care. Your PHN can be found on your BC Services Card.
On the website or app, provide the Personal Health Number (PHN) the BC home address, and contact information for yourself and any members in your care.
Once registered, you will be contacted by phone or email when a physician becomes available in your area.
Furthermore, you can also update the HCR contact details by calling 811 (711 for those deaf or hard of hearing). Be prepared to provide Personal Health Number(s) for each account being updated.
The Richmond Attachment Program (RAP)
The Richmond Attachment Program (RAP) connects patients who are especially vulnerable and who have urgent needs for longitudinal care (such as mothers and babies, newcomers, and complex care or MHSU patients). The RAP matches them to Division members who have the capacity to accept new patients. RAP referrals are received from VCH Public Health, VCH Home and Community Care, Richmond Hospital, and other Divisions of Family Practice.
