Minor injuries and walk-in centres

These services can help with some of the same problems as urgent treatment centres, but they do not all have the same facilities.

If they cannot help with a particular problem, they will direct you to where you can get the right help.

People sustaining injuries as a result of accidents should ring in for advice. They may be referred to the Minor Injuries Unit at Southmead Hospital or Yate Westgate Centre for assessment and treatment. Please do not to turn up at the surgery without an appointment.
