Patients of all ages with minor injuries and illnesses can attend Coventry UTC where Urgent Care Practitioners, including GPs and nurses, will undertake an assessment, provide advice and give patients treatment where needed.
Once you have received an assessment, you will be prioritised based on your clinical need so your treatment will be provided in an appropriate timeframe.
Patients are also able to have blood tests and a pharmacy is available.
Injuries and illnesses that can be treated include:
Coventry UTC operates a walk-in clinic service and if you require our care you will need to attend the City of Coventry NHS Healthcare Centre and check-in at the Coventry UTC reception on the first floor. You will then be booked in for an appointment with the UTC team.
