Walk-in centres (WICs)
Our walk-in centre is similar to a minor injury unit (MIU). You can go to one of the walk-in centres if you have a medical problem that is not critical or life threatening, including for blood pressure checks or minor cuts and wounds.
Our WIC is in the city centre on Sidwell Street and is staffed by highly trained nurse practitioners.
Choosing a walk-in centres for non-life threatening conditions will ensure you receive the best possible treatment, leaving our Emergency Department free to deal with the more serious cases.
