For non – life threatening emergencies
You can go to an urgent treatment centre if you need medical help but it's not a life threatening situation, they can diagnose and deal with many common health problems.
Other types of urgent care services are called minor injuries units or walk-in centres. They offer some, but not all, of the same help as urgent treatment centres.
When to visit
- 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
- If you need a prescription one can be organised for you.
