Healthcare
advice, information and treatment WITHOUT having to make an
appointment.
NHS walk-in centres offer fast and convenient access to healthcare
advice and treatment for minor injuries and illnesses.
They have been introduced to help anyone whose modern, busy
lifestyle, or practical circumstances and particular needs,
make flexible and accessible services so important. They don't
replace local GP or hospital services but complement existing
local services. |

No appointment is needed and assessments are
carried out by experienced NHS nurses who provide a skilled, safe
and caring service. NHS walk-in centres are open and available to
anyone who can normally access NHS services.
