Urgent Treatment Centre Opens at Hospital

A new Urgent Treatment Centre has opened its doors at Sandwell Hospital – and will be accessible to all patients.

The facility, based at the West Bromwich hospital, replaces the walk-in centre at Parsonage Street, which was situated just a few yards away.

It offers GP-led urgent, but not emergency care, for ailments such as suspected broken bones, abdominal pain and minor illnesses.

The centre will be open for urgent care seven days a week, from 9am to 9pm. Appointments can be made by calling NHS 111 or by walking in.
