VirtualCareNS provides those without a primary care provider virtual access to a family doctor or nurse practitioner. This service is at no cost to the patient but leverages the Maple technology platform. 

Following a robust vendor selection process, Nova Scotia Health has partnered with Maple to provide the technology for this program. 

The program is intended to add to, and not replace, your current family practice hours. It is expected that participating physicians continue their active family practice hours without any interruption to patient access.

The most common issues for providers are covered in our Quick Reference Guide below. Please review the resources section at the bottom of the page to find other detailed training, support, and contact information.
