Urgent treatment Centres (UTCs) provide medical help when it's not a life-threatening emergency. They can diagnose and deal with many of the common problems people go to A&E for.
Adults and children over 5 will have to complete the online assessment via the digital streaming tool on the Smart devices in our waiting room and one of our receptionists will either book you in or give you an appointment to return.
They can treat:
- Sprains and strains
- Suspected broken bones
- Injuries, cuts and bruises
- Stomach pain, vomiting and diarrhoea
- Skin infections and rashes
- High temperature in children and adults
- Mental health concerns
You can also:
- Get blood tests, an ECG (electrocardiogram) or an X-Ray
- Get a prescription
- Get emergency contraception
