Why Go To A UTC?
The UTC sees both walk in patients and appointments booked via 111 and is equipped to diagnose and manage many of the most common conditions people attend the Emergency Department for, including:
St Peter's Hospital
Guildford Road, Chertsey
Surrey KT16 0PZ
Where Is The UTC?
The UTC is located opposite the Emergency Department at St Peter's Hospital in Chertsey Surrey.
In order to access the UTC, you must first visit the Emergency Department navigation, where you will be navigated to the UTC building if appropriate.
What Not To Go To The UTC For?
For any major or life-threatening injuries or illnesses call 999. The UTC can provide treatment for urgent but non-life-threatening problems.
GP Services
The UTC does not replace your GP. Your GP can provide most treatments and they hold medical records and have a broader overview of your health. Your GP can also refer patients to specialist services for less time-critical conditions.
Repeat Prescriptions
Please contact your GP. If it is an emergency and outside of GP opening hours, call 111 or attend the Emergency Department who may navigate you to the UTC where a short course may be prescribed.
Sexual Health
There are a number of sexual health clinics across Surrey. Please visit the following website for further information and for booking: www.sexualhealth.cnwl.nhs.uk
Dental Pain Or Emergencies
The UTC is not able to treat dental problems. Please contact your own dentist for any routine or urgent dental problems. Alternatively, call 111 for advice regarding urgent dental issues.
NHS Pharmacy First
The NHS Pharmacy First service allows community pharmacists in England to provide advice and NHS-funded prescription treatment for seven common, minor conditions without needing a GP appointment.
