Lymington Urgent Treatment Centre is closed today (Wednesday February 18) due there being no water or heating on site

 Lymington Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) is closed today (Wednesday February 18) due there being no water or heating on site.

The advice to people who may use the service is:

• Do not attend the Lymington UTC today
• Another UTC can help with injuries and illnesses that need urgent medical attention but aren’t life threatening. Find a list of other UTCs in Hampshire here
• If you’re unsure what service to use visit 111 online or call 111 for advice and the team will get you to the right help
• Continue to use your local GP and community pharmacy services as normal
• Think Pharmacy First for minor illness. They can also now offer prescription medicine for seven common conditions (where appropriate) without the need to see a GP
• Please only attend your local emergency department (ED) if your condition poses a risk to life or limb

A number of services in Lymington Hospital are being impacted by this issue, for more information visit Hampshire and Isle of Wight Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust’s website.
