Urgent Care Centres   

If your injury is not serious, you can get help from an Urgent Care Centre, rather than going to an A&E department. This will allow A&E staff to concentrate on people with serious, life-threatening conditions and will save you a potentially long wait.

Urgent Care Centres can treat:

• Sprains and strains
• Broken bones
• Wound infections
• Minor burns and scalds
• Minor head injuries
• Insect and animal bites
• Minor eye injuries
• Injuries to the back, shoulder and chest
  

Urgent Care Centres cannot treat:

• Chest pain
• Breathing difficulties
• Major injuries
• Problems usually dealt with by a GP
• Stomach pains
• Gynecological problems
• Pregnancy problems
• Allergic reactions
• Overdoses
• Alcohol-related problems
• Mental health problems
• Conditions likely to require hospital admission
