WALK-IN-PATIENTS AND THE WALK IN CENTRES
If you wish to be seen immediately, by specially trained
nurses, you should make the most of the ‘Walk-in-Centre’
in Weybridge High Street. This centre opens until late
and can be useful, especially for commuters and people
with minor problems. We do not have walk-in medical
services at our practice. |
