Burns, cuts, grazes, wounds, earache, broken arm, sprained ankle? Live in Roehampton or Putney? We’ll see you at Queen Mary’s Hospital. 

If you have an injury or illness, such as a burn, wound, earache or broken bone, did you know that you can be seen conveniently and locally at Queen Mary’s Hospital, Roehampton?  The service offers appointments with nurses and paramedics, seven days a week, from 8am to 8pm for adults and children over two.

To book, please call 020 8725 0120. You will be assessed by to make sure you are suitable for the service and given a convenient appointment. GP slots are also available on the site. You can book them by calling NHS 111 or contacting your own GP practice. 

Please do not attend Queen Mary’s Hospital if you have Covid-19 symptoms, are self-isolating or have tested positive for Covid-19. Instead, ring NHS 111 or 119. People with suspected life-threatening conditions, such as a heart attack or stroke, should call 999 immediately. 

The previous urgent treatment centre at Queen Mary’s was suspended last year because it was not possible to run it under strict Covid-19 guidelines. A new pilot service opened in December and has now been extended for a further six months. 

Dr Nicola Jones, GP borough lead for Wandsworth said: “We want to make it easy and convenient for people to receive health care for minor injuries and illnesses – whether a burn, sprain, broken bone or earache. After listening to the views of local people, we’re extending this pilot scheme with a new phone number, so people can talk directly to a nurse or paramedic and be seen quickly and locally in Roehampton.”
