Urgent care when you need it most

Avoid NHS queues with our walk-in service for everyday accidents, injuries and illnesses. We see adults and children aged one and up.

You’ll pay a fee for an initial consultation with a doctor, and if you need any scans, tests, or further treatment, these will be charged extra. If you have health insurance, you can ask your provider for treatment authorisation at this point. If not, we will let you know how much any further treatment will cost, so you can consider the options for paying for yourself.

We can refer to specialist private consultants and diagnostic scans, including X-rays, Ultrasound, CT and MRIs, all on-site, so you can access results and treatment quickly.

The Urgent Care Clinic can only treat minor injuries and illnesses. In the event of an emergency, call 999 and ask for an ambulance.

If you think you are having a heart attack or stroke, please call 999 or go to your local A&E.
