When you’re unwell or injured, waiting for treatment isn’t an option. While A&E is essential for life-threatening emergencies, many conditions can be treated more quickly and effectively at an urgent care centre.
What Conditions Can Urgent Care Treat?
- Minor injuries such as sprains, fractures, and cuts
- Infections including chest, ear, and urinary tract infections
- Stomach pain, vomiting, and dehydration
- Fevers in adults and children
- Skin rashes and allergic reactions
Why Choose Urgent Care Over A&E?
- Shorter waiting times compared to overcrowded emergency departments
- Same-day diagnostics such as X-rays and blood tests
- On-site GPs and specialists for faster treatment decisions
