URGENT Treatment Centres

Posted by: rachelmatthews - Posted on:

Urgent Treatment Centres can help people who need to see a healthcare professional urgently, but who are not in a life-threatening condition. We have two centres in Leeds: one in the St Georges Centre in Middleton and one at Wharfedale General Hospital. They are both open every day from 8am until 11pm (including bank holidays such as Christmas Day). You can walk into an urgent treatment centre, or you can call NHS111 or the centre directly. The centre’s receptionist may not be able to answer the phone because they may be helping patients at the desk. The Urgent Treatment Centres cannot treat people who have a head injury if they are aged under two years old or over 65. In addition, they cannot treat people with pregnancy related health conditions or babies under 6 weeks old. More details of each centre are below.
