Merlyn Vaz Urgent Treatment Centre

Merlyn Vaz Urgent Treatment Centre is available to support patients with their urgent care needs when their GP practice is closed, and they need urgent treatment, including cuts and minor injuries such as sprains.

The Urgent Treatment Centre is suitable for urgent care needs but not emergency attention.

Treatment can be accessed by:

Visiting NHS 111 online or using the NHS App
Calling NHS 111 if you do not have online access or for children under 5.
Via GP referral or the Clinical Navigation Hub
You can use this service as a walk-in patient (without an appointment), but it is advisable to use NHS111 first to ensure you are guided to the most appropriate service with a confirmed appointment time or arrival time slot. This will minimise your waiting time and, where walk-in availability is limited, it will avoid long waits or signposting to alternative services.

To ensure you receive the best treatment, the reception team will ask you a series of questions about your condition, to help provide the best clinical assessment.
