Urgent Care Centres
What are urgent care centres?
Urgent care centres are an alternative to A&E. They are centres that treat minor injuries and illness that require urgent treatment that cannot be seen by your registered GP.
Where’s my nearest UCC?
For most people in Hammersmith and Fulham, the closest urgent care centre is based at Charing Cross Hospital or Hammersmith Hospital. They are staffed by experienced GPs and nurses, healthcare assistants and other healthcare practitioners.

Which conditions are treated at UCCs?
The urgent care centre treats minor injuries and illnesses that require urgent treatment.

On arrival at the urgent care centre you will be assessed and treated in order of the priority of your condition.
This is an urgent care service and should only be used if you require urgent medical attention and cannot be seen by your registered GP.
• If your condition is urgent and requires immediate attention, you will be seen by an appropriate clinician in the urgent care centre.
• If your condition is not urgent or immediate, you will be referred back to your GP.
• If you are seriously ill, you will be referred to the emergency department which is located next to the urgent care centre.
Emergencies
A&E departments assess and treat patients with serious injuries or illnesses. You should visit A&E or call 999 for life-threatening emergencies, such as:
• loss of consciousness
• acute confused state and fits that are not stopping
• persistent, severe chest pain
• breathing difficulties
• severe bleeding that cannot be stopped
If you need an ambulance call 999, the emergency phone number in the UK.
You can also dial 112, which is the ambulance number throughout the European Union.
Major A&E departments offer access 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, although not all hospitals have an A&E department.

Walk In Centres
Parsons Green Walk-in Centre provides a quick and easy way to access healthcare from experienced NHS nurses, who can treat a range of minor injuries and illnesses.
This differs from many other NHS services in that there is no need for you to make an appointment beforehand and the centre offers extended opening hours to make things easier for you.
If the nurse is unable to provide all the care you need, you will be given advice on what else is available for you in the area.
For more information on opening times or the specific services that the Parsons Green Walk in Centre offers, please telephone 0208 102 4000 or see:
Your appointment
However you choose to contact us, we may offer you a consultation:
- by phone
- face to face at the surgery
- on a video call
- by text or email
Appointments by phone, video call or by text or email can be more flexible and often means you get help sooner.
Cancelling or changing an appointment
We do understand that sometimes you may forget your appointment, or that other important life incidents happen and that you sometimes no longer need the appointment. We do ask that if you cannot attend your appointment, please cancel it or notify the practice why you did not attend at your earliest convenience.
We have a large number of people who do not attend their appointments every single week leading to wasted doctor and nurse time, leading to delays in you being able to get an appointment.
To cancel your appointment:
- use your NHS account (through the NHS website or NHS App)
- using the GP online system – SystmOnline
- phone us on 0203 474 6400, Monday to Friday from 8am to 6.30pm
- reply CANCEL to your appointment reminder text message
Please let us know well in advance if you cannot make your appointment so that it may be allocated to another patient.

If you need help when we are closed
If you need medical help now, use NHS 111 online or call 111.
NHS 111 online is for people aged 5 and over. Call 111 if you need help for a child under 5.
Call 999 in a medical or mental health emergency. This is when someone is seriously ill or injured and their life is at risk.
If you need help with your appointment
Please tell us:
- if there’s a specific doctor, nurse or other health professional you would prefer to respond
- if you would prefer to consult with the doctor or nurse by phone, face-to-face, by video call or by text or email
- if you need an interpreter
- if you have any other access or communication needs
Home visits
It is clinically better for you to be seen at the surgery where we have better facilities, diagnostic aids and lighting to assess you, however, if you need a home visit please contact the surgery as early as possible in the morning, before 10:00, and give one of our receptionists your specific details.
Home visits are ONLY for housebound patients and for those too ill to attend the surgery. Home visits are not for those who do not have transport. Your GP will only visit you at home if they think that your medical condition requires it and will also decide how urgently a visit is needed.
You can be visited at home by a community nurse if you are referred by your GP. You should also be visited at home by a health visitor if you have recently had a baby or if you are newly registered with a GP and have a child under five years.
Evening and Weekend Access
Need to see a GP or nurse in the evening or at the weekend?
There are GP services open to all patients in the borough running Monday to Saturday in Hammersmith and Fulham. You can book an appointment from your own practice with a GP at Parkview Practice
