Patient Connect NB is a provincially managed, bilingual patient registry for New Brunswickers without access to a primary health care provider (family doctor or nurse practitioner).
New Brunswickers without a provider can register with Patient Connect NB and will be assigned to a provider on a first-come, first-serve basis. You will be contacted directly by the Primary Care Provider’s office once you are referred to their practice.
If you have recently received a letter from the Patient Connect NB program to validate your information and confirm that you are still looking for a primary care provider (doctor or nurse practitioner) click here.
The wait time for placement with a primary care provider varies by health zone. The Department of Health and the Regional Health Authorities are working to increase capacity and recruit more providers. You will be contacted directly by a provider’s office when the provider can take you on as a patient.
We are committed to improving access and system capacity, however at this time, we are unable to respond to inquiries about where people are on the list or how long it will take to be matched.
Please note that the department contacts patients on the list via phone and/or mail. If unable to reach the patient after 3 attempts, the file will be closed, and the applicant would need to register for the program again.
