This service provides care for people with urgent health problems or those who prefer a ‘walk in’ service. The Centre is open 8am-8pm, 7 days a week, including public holidays. 

To ensure waiting time is kept to a minimum, patients are ‘triaged’ on arrival. The most ill patients are always given priority.
