Urgent Care Centres (walk-in centre or minor injury unit)
Urgent treatment centres are a facility you can go to if you need urgent medical attention when we are closed, but it’s not a life-threatening situation.
Conditions that can be treated at an urgent treatment centre include: sprains and strains, suspected broken limbs, minor head injuries, cuts and grazes, bites and stings, minor scalds and burns, ear and throat infections, skin infections and rashes, eye problems, coughs and colds, feverish illness in adults, feverish illness in children, abdominal pain, vomiting and diarrhoea, emergency contraception.
Accident and Emergency
A medical emergency is a situation in which the health of a person is at high risk of deteriorating rapidly without immediate medical attention.
For example, chest pains, increasing difficulty in breathing, impaired consciousness and any of the signs of a stroke (facial weakness, inability to lift a limb or slurred speech) constitute an emergency.
In a medical emergency you can access urgent help by calling 999.
