I have looked at some walk in centres here in Belfast and found some that I know off. Are they opened 24 hour a day or do you have to find out if they are opened.

I know we have a "BEL-DOC" - at night time - dont know what time it opens but could you answer first question = thanks Sqad.

Sorry jenny, I know nothing about Walk In Centres as they are relatively new to me.

For what it is worth, i find that they are a very expensive waste of time. Plenty of choice with NHS 24 or the likes, your GP or A&E.

Just my personal opinion but someone will come along shortly with a reliable LINK to an even more reliable WEBSITE.

These are two GP out of hours service providers that are open at night, weekends and on bank holidays. They are not walk in - you phone first and they decide the best course of action for you

sqad - you know nothing about them, but you find them a very expensive waste of time? How do you find that if you know nothing?

bednobs....one doesn't have to be a genius and a lifetime of working in the health community gives you an indication that GP.s Phone Service and A&E should be enough cover without "Walk -In- Centres..............shouldn't it?

Anyway....it is only a personal opinion......and a minority opinion as well.
