Loughborough NHS Urgent Treatment Centre
The Loughborough Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) is here to help you with your urgent care needs when:
- Your GP practice is closed, and you need urgent treatment
- For an injury such as a suspected broken bone
- For cuts, minor injuries, scalds and burns
- For any other urgent but not emergency attention.
Treatment at Loughborough UTC can be accessed by:
- Calling or going online to NHS 111
- You could be given an appointment by your GP, NHS 111 or from the Emergency Department.
- Walk in capacity is available at this service, but it is advisable to use NHS111 to ensure you are guided to the most appropriate service with a confirmed appointment time or arrival time slot. This will minimise your waiting time and, where walk-in availability is limited, it will avoid long waits or signposting to alternative services.
