Walk-in centre available in Chelmsley Wood over Easter.
A TEMPORARY walk-in centre will be opening in Chelmsley Wood to relieve the pressure on local hospitals over the Easter break.
With doctors' surgeries closed over the Bank Holiday period, people will be able to seek non-emergency medical advice at the Primary Care Centre, in Crabtree Drive (pictured above).
The service will be available from Good Friday through to Easter Monday, 9am-6pm.
Dr Sue Harrower, a member of the Solihull Clinical Commissioning Group, said: "The temporary walk-in centre will give our patients greater choice over Easter and help reduce the demand on urgent care services, especially A&E."
Patients are reminded that people should only visit the casualty department with serious injuries and illnesses. Otherwise they are invited to use the walk-in centre, go to a pharmacy or call the NHS 111 helpline.
