Urgent treatment centres (UTCs) provide urgent medical help when it’s not a life-threatening emergency.
Open at least 12 hours a day, every day, UTCs offer appointments that can be booked through NHS 111 (telephone and online) and are equipped to investigate, diagnose, and deal with many of the most common injuries and illnesses people attend Emergency Departments (A&E) for.
People who go to a UTC are typically:
- mobile and able to move around
- in need of same day treatment.
People may also need some investigative tests to be carried out while they are in the UTC.
- open 7 days a week, 12 hours a day as a minimum
- see both booked and walk-in patients
- see both minor injuries and minor illnesses
- see patients of all ages, including children under 2
- have a basic consistent investigative and diagnostic offering on site (with clear pathways if these are not available in the UTC)
- accept appropriate ambulance arrivals
- have access to patient records
- clearly communicate what the service is for via consistent urgent treatment centre signage, to ensure everyone understands the service.
