Dr. Shelina Nurmohamed – Closing Practice
TO ALL PATIENTS OF DR. SHELINA NURMOHAMED, PLEASE READ
To my patients,
It is with great sadness that I write to inform you that I am going to be closing my practice at Imperial Medical Clinic towards the end of June 2022.
I have truly loved and cherished being allowed into your lives and I am very grateful for you entrusting me with your health. This has not been an easy decision but at this time I need to focus my attention onto my young family.
I understand how difficult the situation of finding a family doctor is and I truly apologize for any distress this news causes you. Unfortunately none of the other Doctors at IMC are able to continue your care in my absence and I recommend
- Visiting the Pathways Medical Directory (pathwaysmedicalcare.ca)
- Contacting HealthLink BC using 8-1-1 toll-free number (or 7-1-1 if you are hearing impaired) or by visiting their website at healthlinkbc.ca.
- Contacting your local Divisions of Family Practice (divisonsbc.ca), as some are establishing physician directories.
For Burnaby patients: https://divisionsbc.ca/burnaby/for-patients/looking-for-a-doctor-in-burnaby
- Visiting a local walk-in clinic or Urgent Primary Care Centre (UPCC). UPCCs also serve as primary care clinics for people who do not have a regular primary care provider and will work to connect them to a primary care clinic as space is available.
- Asking friends and family for recommendations.
Logistically, after the 25th July 2022 I will no longer have access to reviewing any test results or letters from specialists etc. Imperial Medical Clinic will be unable to hold any responsibility for these so please do inform any specialists that you see to no longer address letters to myself/Imperial Medical Clinic or to copy me into any lab work.
Since your medical records are confidential, a copy can only be transferred to another doctor or released to you with your written permission through an authorization for release of medical record form. If you would like to receive a copy of your medical records or transfer them to another physician, please contact Imperial Medical Clinic. Please note that there is a fee associated with the transfer of medical records in the amount of $65.00. You may email completed forms to drsnrecords@imperialmedicalclinic.ca
I am thankful to you, my patients, for trusting me with your care for so many years. I have truly appreciated the opportunity to support you and your family.
Thank you for the privilege of being your family doctor and I wish you and your family the best of health in the future.
Sincerely
Dr. Shelina Nurmohamed

2021 Flu Shots
LAST UPDATED 2 Nov 2021 @ 14:45
Imperial Medical Clinic will be receiving our supply of Flu (Immunization) Shots for the 2021/22 season.
As COVID-19 restrictions ease, we can expect a return of influenza circulation in the community. Influenza – or the flu – spreads very easily, and can cause serious complications or death in vulnerable people, including young children and hospital patients or long-term care residents. You can spread influenza for 24 hours before you have any symptoms, so you can pass influenza on to your family and friends before you even know you are sick.
The most effective way to prevent the spread of influenza is by getting the influenza vaccine, staying home when sick, and washing your hands regularly.
So far, we have received the following flu vaccines stocked:
Fluzone Quadrivalent (2021-2022)
FluLaval TETRA (2021-2022)
FluMist (2021-2022, for ages 2-12)
FLU SHOTS are available for the next 3-5 weeks, every:
TUESDAYS 10:30AM – 12:00PM
WEDNESDAYS 3:00PM – 5:00PM
SATURDAYS TBD
Please call the clinic to book your flu shot appoinment.
