WGH provides a range of General Hospital services, together with an Urgent Treatment Centre, that can help with a range of non-life threatening conditions such as broken bones and minor illnesses.
The UTC is an alternative to attending the Emergency Department (ED) for a range of minor injuries and minor illnesses. It is a walk-in service for patients whose condition is urgent enough that they cannot wait for the next GP appointment (usually within 48 hours), but who do not need emergency treatment at the Emergency Department (ED). People are usually seen, treated and discharged on the same day.
The UTC aims to treat minor illness and minor injury in adults and children of any age.
All three main hospitals provide a range of planned care including outpatients, diagnostics, therapies, day case and inpatient surgery. In addition, a range of local outreach services and diagnostics are provided from community facilities across Morecambe Bay.
