When should I use the Hubs?
The extended service is for patients who require a routine or same day GP appointment, but are unable to attend during normal opening hours. However, they are not walk-in centres and you will need to book an appointment- these can be booked up to 7 days in advance. Please note that both of Walsall’s urgent care centres and its A&E department will still be open as normal for people to use in serious or life threatening emergencies.

If you think you need to speak to someone and it cannot wait until the surgery is next open, the Out of hours service can be reached on 111, or contact surgery and press option 1, which will redirect you.
Please do not wait until Monday morning for urgent treatment – please contact primecare out of hours.
