Expanding the patient booking system for lab appointments to Shellbrook

On March 4, the Saskatchewan Health Authority (SHA) is expanding its online Patient Booking System (PBS) to include appointments in Shellbrook. This tool offers patients in Shellbrook and area the capability to book blood/urine collection, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and glucose intolerance test appointments online.

The SHA Patient Booking System is the fastest way to book a lab appointment and is available 24/7. To book your appointment using the online system, all you need is:

• a valid health card; and
• a phone number or email address where notifications will be sent.

If you do not see your desired appointment type or location, or require further assistance, call the PBS Call Centre Monday through Friday from 8:45 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. (closed statutory holidays) at 1-833-727-5829. Walk-in appointments will continue to be available on a first come, first served basis at all testing locations.

Shellbrook is the sixth location to implement the online PBS for lab appointments, following its introduction in Swift Current, Prince Albert, North Battleford, Moose Jaw, and Yorkton in 2023.
