Aldershot Urgent Care Centre is ending after a 12-month pilot

Announcement from Frimley Health and Care ICS

On Tuesday, 26 November the Aldershot Urgent Care Centre service will be ending after a 12-month pilot period.

After that date, if you do need to be seen urgently but it’s not an emergency, you will still be able to access urgent care services. Please contact your practice in the normal way during their opening hours and let them know what the problem is and they can support you to get the care you need.

You can also contact NHS111, by going to https://111.nhs.uk/ online or by dialing 111 on your phone. This service is for both physical and mental health, and all ages.

If you have an injury which you need to see someone about, you can also continue to visit the minor injury unit in Bracknell. Appointments can be booked via NHS111 and you can also walk-in. The minor injury unit may be more appropriate for your needs and could involve a shorter wait than you may experience elsewhere.

Parents and carers can also find advice relating to support for children, young people and  on https://frimley-healthiertogether.nhs.uk/. Frimley Healthier Together was developed by clinicians working with parents and offers support with a wide range of common childhood health conditions. It uses a ‘traffic light’ system to advise what action to take in different situations.

NHS111 and the minor injury unit are also available for children and young people.

To find out more information visit the Frimley Health and Care website.

Patient Access App/Web Site – Now asking patients to set up two-factor authentication

If you’re logging into the Patient Access App/web site to order medication/book appointments, the system providers now seem to be asking patients to set up two-factor authentication. If you’re having issues with this just click on the ‘Support Centre’ link on the sign in page and that will take you to more information. If you still have issues setting this up, an alternative is to start using the NHS App instead. You’ll also need to set this up if you have not done so already, but we understand that it is easier to use.
