The emergency and urgent care wait clocks were designed with patients in mind, to provide up-to-date information on the estimated wait time to see a physician.
Osler’s wait clocks are updated every 30 minutes and represent the approximate wait time most patients will wait from the time they are assessed until they see a physician.
The wait clocks do not predict the entire length of stay, as that depends on the care required and the tests a patient may need. Wait times also vary based on each person’s condition, with those that are seriously ill or injured being seen first.
Where to go for care
In the case of a serious emergency, please call 911 or go to the nearest Emergency Department. If your medical problem isn't urgent, you may want to consider alternatives such as a walk-in clinic or scheduling an appointment with your family doctor. Learn more about your other health care options.
Brampton Civic Hospital
Etobicoke General Hospital
Peel Memorial Centre for Integrated Health and Wellness
Our Urgent Care Centre provides care when your illness or injury isn't an emergency, but just can't wait. Patients with serious and/or life-threatening injuries, illnesses or conditions should always go to the nearest Emergency Department or call 911 immediately. Any patient coming to the Urgent Care Centre requiring admission will be transferred to Brampton Civic Hospital or Etobicoke General Hospital, as appropriate.

Osler’s wait times are an estimate for general information only and are not meant to discourage care. Osler is not responsible for any liability arising from the use of the wait time information. Patients who choose to leave the hospital before being seen by a health care professional do so at their own risk as there is no way for Osler to know if it is safe for them to leave without being assessed.
