Urgent Care Centre

A new 24 hour, 7 days a week Urgent Care Centre is now open in Hemel Hempstead hospital. It is designed to treat the majority of people who have an illness or an injury.

The Urgent Care Centre is a "walk-in" service. Those attending with minor injuries and less serious illnesses will be treated there and then. Those who require more specialised care will be transferred to a specialist A&E department.

Minor Injuries Units

Minor Injuries Units are for injuries such as sprains, cuts and grazes. Many people go to A&E when they could be treated just as easily and sometimes quicker at a Minor Injuries Unit. This is a "walk-in" service.
