If you have a minor injury or illness, you will always be seen quicker at an urgent treatment centre or minor injuries unit than at a busy A&E.


Urgent treatment centres (UTCs) and minor injury units (MIUs) provide urgent medical help when it's not a life-threatening emergency.

They can diagnose and deal with many common problems people go to A&E for.
