Sheffield NHS Walk-in Centre

NHS walk-in centres offer fast and convenient access to healthcare advice and treatment for minor illnesses. They have been introduced to help anyone whose modern, busy lifestyle, or practical circumstances and particular needs, make flexible and accessible services so important. They don't replace local GP or hospital services but complement existing local services. No appointment is needed and assessments are carried out by experienced NHS nurses who provide a skilled, safe and caring service. NHS walk-in centres are open and available to anyone who can normally access NHS services.

Sheffield City GP Health Centre

 Any member of the public can simply walk in and see a nurse at the centre, even if they are registered elsewhere. You can register as a patient but do not need to - you can use the services offered at the centre as well as the services at the GP surgery where you are registered.

Do I have to register with the Health Centre to use it?

You have the choice. You can use the service and remain registered with your own GP surgery or if you live in Sheffield you can choose to register as a patient of the Broad Lane Medical Centre.

Does the Sheffield City GP Health Centre provide care for patients with long term conditions, eg: diabetes?

Yes, if you choose to register as a patient at the Broad Lane Medical Centre, upstairs in the same building. As a registered patient you will have access to our full range of services. As a walk-in patient we will be providing a service both to check your blood tests and perform the full diabetic check. Ideally you need to choose who will do the full check on a regular basis. We are more than happy to do your tests in advance of your check and send the results to your GP. We can also do the full check but would suggest that you do not have some checks with your GP and some with us. To get the best service you should choose who co-ordinates the care for an important condition like diabetes.

Does the Health Centre offer home visits?

If you are registered at the Broad Lane Medical Centre, home visits will be provided if you are unable to attend in person. If you are not registered  with us your registered doctor is responsible for home visits.

Does the Health Centre have access to my medical records?

Eventually with your permission we will be able to access your medical records even if you are registered elsewhere. This would only happen if you give us permission to do so. We may contact you before an appointment to get as much information as possible in preparation for the appointment. If you access the service as a walk-in patient we will need information from you if we cannot access it directly from your surgery.
