Royal South Hants Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC)
At the Royal South Hants Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) we provide fast, convenient and expert care for any NHS patient with a minor injury that is not life/limb threatening.
Our team of skilled UTC practitioners and GP’s can offer treatment, advice and information for a range of minor injuries. Our waiting times can be considerably less than emergency departments and if we are unable to help, we can refer or direct you to the most appropriate service.
Patients are treated in order of priority rather than order of attendance.
Call NHS 111 before visiting us to get an appointment at a specific time.
Call us on 0333 999 7613* or use our contact form.
