Along with this, we offer enhanced access appointments on a Saturday; these are pre-booked appointments with a GP working for Salisbury Walk-In Centre.

Life threatening

Call 999 or go to A&E now if:

  • you or someone you know needs immediate help
  • you have seriously harmed yourself – for example, by taking a drug overdose

A mental health emergency should be taken as seriously as a medical emergency.

Urgent but not life threatening

Visit an urgent care centre if:

  • You have an urgent medical issue requiring on the day attention

Non-urgent
