he centre at Newark Hospital has been open from 9am to 10pm each day since March 2020
Residents across a Nottinghamshire town are being asked about the opening hours of the Urgent Treatment Centre. T, as the pandemic's impact meant there was not enough staff to provide a 24 hour service.
“The current opening hours for Newark UTC have been in place for more than three and a half years now. We recognise that continued temporary arrangements do not provide the certainty that Newark residents expect and so we believe the time is right to have a conversation with local residents about if current opening hours are configured in the right way for them, or if there could be a different way to spread the opening hours over the day.
A new purpose built £5.6m operating theatre and recovery area with two new minor operation suites is also under development at the hospital, to allow an extra 2,600 operations and procedures every year. The treatment centre is different to emergency care, and is for patients with urgent but non-life-threatening injury or illness and is used in tandem with other urgent care services such as NHS 111, pharmacy advice and out-of-hours or ‘same day’ GP appointments.
