Wilcodoc Plus - Salisbury

Joint venture with local GPs develops Wiltshire’s first 7 day a week Walk-in Health Centre

Based in Salisbury, the health centre is operated by a consortium of local GPs (WilcoDoc) and co-owned and managed by Ashley House Clinical Services. It is open from 8am to 8pm, seven days a week, including Bank Holidays. The Primary care services being offered are available to everyone, whether they are registered with doctors in Salisbury or not.

NHS Walk-in Centres are in existence across the UK, providing free services, including health information, advice and treatment for a range of illnesses and minor injuries without having
to make an appointment. They have been introduced to help people with busy lifestyles which need access to fl exible and convenient health services.

The Salisbury Walk-in Centre is run by experienced nurses and GPs. It will not replace local GP or hospital services but complement them by providing more patients with convenient access to a range of treatments for minor illnesses and injuries.

> A 5 year contract to run a 3,000 patient Health Centre
> 34,000 walk-in patients
