After hours and urgent medical centres (A&E)
Doctor services online or over the phone often have appointments available on the same day. You do not need to be enrolled to use some of them. They are a good option if your usual doctor or nurse cannot fit you in. There will be a cost.

Patient and visitor information
You should not come to our facilities as a visitor or support person if you are unwell. We encourage you to wear a surgical or medical mask when visiting and ask that you clean your hands with the alcohol-based hand gel we provide.
Patients can have more than one visitor except in some situations, for example rooms with more than one patient where it can cause overcrowding.
