NHS Liverpool CCG are urging people in Liverpool to make an NHS Walk-in Centre their first point of call for any health advice or treatment, or to call NHS 111 for GP Out of Hours GP or advice if they aren’t sure where to go. You can also access local pharmacies for help and advice to manage any minor illnesses yourself at home.

There are four walk-in centres in Liverpool – Old Swan NHS Walk-in Centre; Liverpool City Centre Walk-in Centre; Smithdown Children’s NHS Walk-in Centre; and South Liverpool NHS Walk-in Centre (Garston).
