Soho Walk In Centre
CLCH’s Walk-In Centre at Soho will be operating as a Walk- In Service
The walk-in service allows for patients (over 16 years old) to have more flexibility when attending the centre and will not need to book to be seen, ensuring access to same day emergency care. We aim to see patients within four hours.
In addition to this, it allows CLCH to provide increased support to alleviate pressures on local GP services and A&E.
The walk-in service will continue to be led by clinical practitioners for patients (registered and unregistered). Our practitioners will be able to assess, diagnose and treat a number of minor illnesses and manage wounds via this service.
