Open 24 hours, every day of the year
Looking for a clinic Midrand patients can reach at any hour? Ralmed's 24-hour GP practice in Kelvin View, Sandton, is a short drive down the N1.
For Midrand patients
Be clear first
No, and we would rather say so up front. Ralmed's only practice is at 89 Impala Road, Kelvin View, Sandton. Patients see our doctors there, or by video.
From Waterfall City or Carlswald, the drive is south on the N1 to the Buccleuch interchange and on towards Marlboro. Because the practice never closes, it works as a clinic Midrand patients can use at 11pm as well as at 11am.
If you want a clinic Midrand families can use on a Sunday night, a practice that is always open, one motorway away, can be the practical answer.
Two ways to be seen
| Option | Suits | How it works |
|---|---|---|

| Video consultation | Advice, sick notes and referrals | Speak to a doctor from home or work |
| Ambulance | Emergencies, or when the patient cannot travel | Call 086 1725 633 for a crew |
Many people who search for doctors in Midrand need a doctor tonight rather than a doctor next door. Either way, our virtual doctor consultations can stand in for a clinic Midrand visit when an examination is not needed.
