If you urgently require medical treatment or advice, Sheffield Walk-In Centre treats minor injuries and illnesses that need immediate assessment and treatment but do not require care in an A&E Department.

Allyssia Burkinshaw, patient advisor at Sheffield Walk-In Centre, commented: “We hope that everyone has a safe and enjoyable Bank Holiday weekend.

"With life and plans returning to as close to normal as possible, and various activities recommencing, accidents may easily occur.

“We remain open to everyone, but if you have symptoms of Covid-19 including a dry, continuous cough, high temperature or a loss or change to your senses of smell and taste, please stay at home and call 111 for medical advice.”

No appointment is needed, you just need to arrive at the centre and register at reception.

You can also access urgent care advice over the phone by calling 111 or visiting 111.nhs.uk.
