Urgent Care Services

In Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland there are several urgent care services for when you need to be seen quickly, but it isn’t life threatening. These services have names such as urgent care centres, urgent treatment centres, healthcare hubs and minor injury units. These are shown on the map below.

In most cases, you will need an appointment to be able to use them. In the first instance, contact NHS 111 (online or by phone). If you need to be seen they will arrange an appointment for you at the right place for your particular health problem, as quickly as possible, which could be at one of these services.
