A Same Day Urgent Care (SDUC) service provides more than a minor injury unit.
It brings together urgent primary care, minor injuries and some same-day urgent care in one, led by experienced advanced urgent care practitioners.
Please contact the same day urgent care service on 01239 807019 before attending to speak to a triage nurse. They can provide advice, book you into the right clinic, or direct you to the most appropriate service.
Calling ahead can help reduce the time you may wait to be seen.
