About our walk-in centres

How we can help

We have five walk-in centres in London. We help adults and children with common illnesses and injuries. We can also give health advice and medicine. You do not need an appointment. We may share details of your visit with your GP. If we can’t treat you, we will tell you where to get the right care.

When you arrive

  1. On arrival, go to the reception. They will ask you some details about who you are and why you are there.
  2. You will be seen by a healthcare professional, such as a nurse, who will ask about your symptoms and decide if we are able to help you and how urgently you need to be seen.
  3. You will then be asked to take a seat and to wait for a full examination. 
  4. A healthcare professional will carry out a full examination, treat you, give advice or tell you where to get help.

We aim to see and treat patients within 4 hours, although waiting times may vary. Patients are not always seen in order of when they arrived.

People with more serious problems are seen first.
