The Bracknell Urgent Care Centre (UCC)

Please note that the UCC is to be accessed for minor injuries at any time and for minor illness only outside of your GP surgery hours.

Please check our opening times on this website before visiting the UCC.

Please note that the UCC can not do any of the following -

Ear syringing

Repeat and post op dressings

Direct xray/bloods/ECG/other diagnostics.

The UCC is a nurse led unit and and therefore any illness should be dealt with by your GP during opening hours or Out Of Hours (111) when your GP surgery is closed.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Phone lines for Urgent appointments are open from 7.00 am to 10.00 am. You will be asked to leave your name, date of birth, contact number and brief message about your illness. The clinician will call you back the same day.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

The NHS friends and family test started on 1/12/2014. If you would like to leave feedback for this surgery, please respond to any texts that you receive following your appointments.

Thank you for taking the time to do this for the practice.

Travel Vaccinations

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.

There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below

Europe & Russia	North America
Central America	South America
Caribbean	Africa
Middle East	Central Asia
East Asia	Australasia and Pacific

It is important to make an appointment as early as possible, at least 6 weeks before you travel . Some vaccines may have to be ordered as they may not be a stock vaccine.

Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.

The travel charge is £20 and this will need to paid to make the appointment with the completed travel form. If you did not attend the appointment, you will not get the money back. But the £20 will be refunded when you do come for the appointment.

Travel Health Questionnaire

To help us offer the appropriate advice, please ask for a travel form at reception which needs completing before the appointment at least 6 weeks before you travel
