Urgent Care Centre Erith and District Hospital is an urgent treatment service available to anyone living or working in Erith and the surrounding areas, in the London borough of Bexley. The service also sees patients from neighbouring boroughs of South-East London, Kent and Essex. The service provides treatment of minor injuries and illnesses and provides a streaming service in order that patients are transferred to the right service either within the Urgent Treatment Centre or elsewhere.
The service is a standalone urgent treatment centre based at Park Crescent, Erith, DA8 3EE. There is no emergency department on site, or in Bexley. Patients requiring an emergency treatment are sent to departments in neighbouring boroughs.
The service is delivered by Hurley Medical Partnership which delivers care at 12 CQC registered GP practices and two urgent treatment centres across London.
The urgent treatment centre is open seven days per week between 8am and 10pm for patients who walk-in, self-refer, or are referred by the NHS 111 service. Between 75 and 150 patients utilise the service every day, including those redirected at the streaming stage.
Staff at the service are either employed directly by Hurley Clinical Partnership, are self-employed, bank (those who are retained on a list by the provider) or agency staff.
CQC registered the provider to carry out the following regulated services at the service:
- Treatment of disease, disorder, or injury
- Diagnostic and screening procedures
