An Urgent Treatment Centre provides treatment for minor injuries and illnesses that are urgent but not life or limb threatening.
If you need medical help but you know it’s not an emergency then the Urgent Treatment Centre might be the best place for you.
Ideally we ask you to ‘talk before you walk’ and call NHS 111 to double check that your local Urgent Treatment Centre is the right place to go. Often NHS 111 can book you a time to visit the centre, which saves you waiting, and can offer you advice on other Urgent Treatment Centres near by who may be able to see you.
