The clinic, open seven days a week from 12 noon to 8pm, offers prompt treatment for conditions that cannot wait for a routine primary care appointment. Patients do not need a pre-booked appointment and can attend in person to be allocated one.
The GP WiC can assist with a range of issues, including new pain or fever, suspected infections, urinary symptoms, skin conditions, muscle or joint pain, headaches, dizziness, and flare-ups of existing conditions like asthma. The service is available to patients registered with 15 local GP practices, as well as those not registered but living within specific postcode areas. Eligibility can be checked on the NHSGGC website.
Fraser McJannett, Director of Primary Care and GP Out of Hours at NHSGGC, stated: “Our new video makes it easier for people to understand when the clinic is the right option for them, how to access it and what to expect when they arrive. We would encourage people to take a few minutes to watch the video and find out more about the service before attending.”
The clinic is not for medical emergencies or minor injuries. For life-or-limb-threatening situations, the public should call 999 or attend their nearest A&E. For minor injuries, NHS 24 should be contacted on 111.
The GP Walk-In Clinic is located at Cardonald Medical Centre, 1831 Paisley Road West, Glasgow, G52 3SS. Further information, including participating GP practices and eligibility, is available on the NHSGGC website.
