Mersey Care is encouraging anyone who lives in Liverpool, South Sefton and Knowsley to visit one of our NHS walk-in centres for advice and treatment for minor injuries and illnesses.

The walk-in centres are also returning to more face-to-face appointments following the lifting of restrictions put in place during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Knowsley

All Knowsley Walk-in Centres are open Monday to Saturday 8am to 8.30pm and on Sundays and Bank Holidays they are open 10am to 8.30pm.

Telephone appointments are no longer required and patients will be triaged/assessed and seen in order based on their clinical needs. The walk- in centres are located at the following:

  • Huyton Walk-in Centre, Nutgrove Villa, Westmoreland Road, Huyton, L36 6GA
  • Kirkby Walk-in Centre, St Chads Clinic, St Chads Drive, Kirkby, L32 8RE
  • Halewood Walk-in Centre, Roseheath Drive, Halewood, Liverpool, L26 9UH

In order to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and keep our staff, patients and visitors safe, there will still be a requirement in our buildings to wear a mask and maintain a safe distance.

If patients have any COVID-19 symptoms, the advice is still for them to self-isolate, and contact NHS 111. Information on testing is available here: https://www.gov.uk/get-coronavirus-test

 

Is the Walk-In Centre the best option?

If you're not sure if a walk-in centre is the best option for you, you can contact NHS 111 for advice. NHS 111 is available 24 hours a day; 365 days a year for any medical help which is needed fast, but is not a 999 emergency. Calls are free from landlines and mobile phones.

Please only go straight to Accident & Emergency (A&E) if you or someone with you needs immediate care for something that is very serious, including breathing difficulties, chest pain, life-threatening injuries or a loss of consciousness

You should still dial 999 as normal in a medical emergency.
