How to access the service
When patients contact NHS 111 or their local GP practice within Hertfordshire with an urgent health issue, they may be offered an appointment on the same day at the IUCH.
This new minor illness and injuries service offers appointments between 9am and 6pm, seven days a week and provides access to diagnostic services, including x-rays.
Patients will be treated by nurses who have experience working in urgent care and emergency triage departments. The service is also supported by GPs who the nurses can call on for further medical support or treatment if needed. The team is able to see, treat and resolve issues for patients over the age of 1 year, with a range of non-life-threatening health conditions. Babies and children under 1 year will be directed to other relevant services.
