Think Local Act Personal

An NHS centre that you can go to without an appointment if you have an illness or injury that is not serious enough for you to go to an accident and emergency department (for example, minor injuries, infections, stomach aches, vomiting and diarrhoea). Many walk-in centres are open every day of the year.
