3 Jan 2000 Jahr - NHS walk-in centres introduced

Beschreibung:

NHS walk-in centres offer convenient access to a range of NHS services. They used to be managed by primary care trusts (PCTs), but since April 1 2013 this has been the responsibility of clinical commissioning groups (CCGs).
Walkin centres are usually run by nurses and are available to everyone. You don't need an appointment or to be registered to visit a walk-in centre.
Most centres are open every day of the year and are situated in convenient locations, giving patients access to services outside regular office hours.
There are around 7 million attendances at type 3 A&E services (walk-in centres, urgent care centres and minor injury units) in England, dealing with minor illnesses and injuries.
