Walk-in services

Minor health conditions If you need help quickly and your condition is minor, please try self care first. You can find out more about self care and how to get support with it on our self care page.

If your condition is more serious or self care hasn’t worked, please contact your GP practice, or NHS 111 when your GP practice is closed. Based on your symptoms, they will match you to the right care, in the right place and arrange an appointment – including an appointment on the same day if needed and during evenings, weekends and bank holidays.

You can use some local services on a walk-in basis, but you are advised to use your GP practice or NHS 111, before setting out, to make sure it is the right place for you to go, and so an appointment can be arranged to reduce your waiting time.

If you would still like to walk-in, you can use the services described on this page.
