When it comes to accessing medical care that’s urgent but not life-threatening, people in Tower Hamlets now only need to do one thing; call NHS 111 (free, even from mobile phones) who will direct callers to the most appropriate service.
The Urgent Treatment centre is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
The UTC service is located in Clinic 1 at The Royal London Hospital’s Cavell Entrance on Stepney Way. It offers GP-led healthcare 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The Tower Hamlets UTC is equipped to diagnose and deal with many of the most common ailments people attend A&E for, including:
Strains and sprains | minor head injuries | cuts and grazes | Bites and stings | mild burns | skin infections and rashes | coughs and colds | Abdominal pain and many other non-life-threatening issues.
Patients who go to The Royal London Hospital A&E department with non-life-threatening illnesses will be assessed and directed to the UTC, a three-minute walk across the hospital from A&E.
The UTC is just one option in the wide range of local healthcare services available. This includes visiting your local pharmacist for advice about treatments without needing to book an appointment, contacting your GP practice for bookable GP services via eConsult, the GP Out of Hours and GP Extended Access services as well as self-care at home
