Changes Planned for Urgent Primary Care in Sheffield

Sheffield Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) has revealed plans to open a new Urgent Treatment Centre at the Northern General and close both the Minor Injuries Unit at the Hallamshire Hospital and the Broad Lane Walk-in Centre near the city centre.

There will also be changes to out-of-hours access to GPs and the way urgent eye care is delivered.

The CCG have asked the people of Sheffield from all backgrounds and communities to let them know their thoughts about the proposed changes.

First of all Healthwatch Sheffield is urging everyone to read the consultation document found here, or look at the consultation webpage here.

You are invited to reply to the consultation with as much detail as you can:
