Community Services During COVID-19

Treatment Rooms

There are only two treatment rooms still open. These are Lowe House and the Urgent Treatment Centre (formally known as the Walk-in-Centre).

This is not for patients who self-refer – but for those currently on the caseload and those whose need is urgent.

Home visits via the district nursing service can be made if appropriate.
