Merlyn Vaz NHS Urgent Care Centre
The Merlyn Vaz NHS Urgent Care Centre (UCC) is here to help you with your urgent care needs when:
- Your GP practice is closed, and you need urgent treatment
- For cuts, minor injuries such as sprains
- For any other urgent but not emergency attention.
Treatment at Merlyn UCC can be accessed by:
- Calling or going online to NHS 111
- You could be given an appointment by your GP, NHS 111
- If you go straight to the Emergency Department you could be asked to go to the UCC instead.
- You can attend as a walk-in patient between 8am and 8pm where you will be provided an ‘on the day’ appointment - outside of those times it is by appointment only
To ensure you receive the best treatment, our reception team will ask you a series of questions about your condition, to help provide the best clinical assessment.
