Urgent treatment centres and minor injuries units are equipped to diagnose and deal with many of the most common ailments people attend emergency departments for, including sprains, minor burns, and minor illness.
Patients can visit a centre without an appointment if they have an urgent condition that needs to be seen on the same day.
Appointments can also be booked by contacting NHS 111 by phone or online. By using NHS 111, patients will know they are going to the right place for treatment.
