You can go there if you need urgent medical attention but it’s not a life threatening situation
An urgent treatment centre will provide urgent treatment for a range of minor injuries and minor illnesses.
Appointments need to be booked in advance by calling 111 and speaking to a fully trained NHS advisor.
Depending on the situation, the NHS 111 team can connect you with the right service for further advice and treatment. They can even arrange an urgent face-to-face appointment which could be at the urgent treatment centre or with the GP out-of-hours service.
If you are worried about your medical condition, you can call 111 as it is staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. The NHS 111 advisors can also assess if you need an ambulance and send one immediately if necessary.
The urgent treatment centre can treat:
X-rays are available at the Urgent Treatment Centre between 8.00am and 8pm.
Waiting times at the Urgent Treatment Centre do vary, our aim is to see and treat all patients within four hours of arrival. If you have an appointment booked, you should arrive early and if you are coming by car allow yourself plenty of time to park, parking charges will apply in the hospital car park. You should be seen within 30 minutes of your appointment time.
We would ask you not to call the Urgent Treatment Centre for waiting times as these can quickly change and hence on arrival the information may well no longer be accurate.
PLEASE NOTE:
There is no A&E department at Wycombe Hospital. If you think your life is at risk, you should call 999.
Children who are seriously injured or ill, or who have sustained any head injury should be taken to the nearest A&E.
The urgent treatment centre at Wycombe Hospital no longer accepts walk-ins, although, patients with injuries can turn up without pre-booking.
All patients should contact their local GP surgery in the first instance.
