New Urgent Treatment Centre unveiled at Solihull Hospital
Published on 28/06/2023
A £1 million investment in a new Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) facility at Solihull Hospital has been unveiled, with a special ribbon cutting opening by the Mayor of Solihull.
The UTC is open from 08:00 – 20:00, seven days a week, providing urgent care for common issues including:
- Broken bones
- Sprains
- Cuts
- Stomach pains
- Rashes
- Minor burns
The new facility will be available for adults and children (one year and over) and can be accessed through NHS111 or by walking-in. There will be a mixture of different clinical professionals delivering the service including Emergency Nurse Practitioners and GPs.
The UTC cannot treat life-threatening emergencies, such as heart attacks and strokes; the public are advised to call 999 or attend their nearest accident and emergency department in these circumstances.
A special thank you to all those involved in making this hugely anticipated event a reality.
