- are a busy parent with small children;
- or rely on working carers to take you to appointments;
then this service is here to support you.
About the Service
The Fylde Coast NHS has arranged for additional appointments to be provided outside of normal GP practice hours by the Fylde Coast Integrated Urgent Care Service.
The service offers pre-bookable and same-day routine primary care appointments with a range of clinicians including GPs, nurses and health care assistants.
Please be aware that this is not a walk-in service – you must have an appointment. The service employs local clinicians from the Fylde Coast, where possible.
