The minor injury service Bracknell Urgent Care Centre has reopened and now accepts walk-in appointments from Monday, 19th July, 2021.
The service is situated at the Urgent Care Centre, London Road, Bracknell, and is available 7 days a week, from 8am-8pm. The service had previously suspended walk-in appointments at the start of the pandemic to reduce the risks of Covid-19 to both patients and staff. Throughout that period a dedicated booking system was introduced with access to the minor injury service via NHS 111, with all appointments being provided based on a patient’s assessed clinical need.
As well as through 111, the minor injury service now also can be booked via your own GP practice* which will help avoid long waiting times.
It is important to note that the minor injury service is only for conditions such as the following:
- Sprains and strains
- Suspected broken limbs
- Minor head injuries
- Cuts and grazes
- Bites and stings
- Minor scalds and burns
- Skin infections
Anyone with a life threatening condition should call 999.
Dr Lalitha Iyer, Medical Director at NHS Frimley Clinical Commissioning Group, said: “We’re delighted that we are now in a position to reopen the minor injury service for both walk-in and booked appointments via their GP.”
If you are suffering from a minor illness, as coughs or colds, please seek advice from your pharmacist, from https://111.nhs.uk or contact your GP.
