Walk-In centre open 7am-9pm for all patients

Norwich Practices Health Centre is operated by Norwich Practices Ltd under a contract with NHS England to provide NHS services. Norwich Practices Ltd is owned and operated by doctors from local GP practices. The company was set up because those local GPs felt they could provide more and better services to patients if they worked together.

Escalation

When we are busy in the Walk-In Centre we may turn patients away and only book in medical emergencies.
Please be aware that as we near our closing hours every evening we may implement our ‘Escalation’ procedure.
This will happen when our patients waiting time begins to exceed our hours left of opening.
During escalation our reception staff will inform patients that we are currently only seeing medical emergencies.
We use this procedure to ensure our patient’s safety and to make sure that our hard working clinicians are not overwhelmed by large numbers of patients coming into the Centre just before closing time.
A medical emergency is something that cannot be managed overnight with self-care.
If you feel that you have an emergency or that your child needs to be seen urgently, please report to reception so that they can book you in. Please be aware that we will see all children under the age of five, regardless of our escalation procedure.
If you are not a medical emergency we recommend that you call 111 or visit a pharmacy for medical advice. Reception can also offer you an appointment for first thing the following morning.

Blood Tests

Please note that blood tests are only performed between 8.00am - 12.30pm, Monday - Friday (excluding Bank Holidays).  This service is located on the Walk In Centre Floor at Rouen House.
