Peterborough residents can have their say on Urgent Treatment Centre location plans
The Urgent Treatment Centre is currently located at the City Care Centre in Thorpe Road, Peterborough. The new proposal plans to relocate the Urgent Care Centre to Peterborough City Hospital in the future to bring all urgent and emergency care in one place to make it as easy as possible for people to get the help they need.
As part of the BIG conversation, where the local NHS spoke to the local community about how they would like to access and use NHS services in the future, 73% of people said they would like just one place to contact for advice and treatment that could book them an urgent appointment with the right service within two days, or sooner if needed.
