Members of the public across Solihull who want to find out more about the progress of the Solihull Hospital Urgent Care Centre can come along to a public information event in Touchwood next week.

Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust (HEFT), which runs Solihull Hospital, and Solihull Clinical Commissioning Group (CCG) are working together to provide a new Urgent Care Centre at Solihull Hospital. This will see all the urgent care services which are currently available, the Minor Injuries Unit at Solihull Hospital, a walk-in centre, out of hours and other urgent care services, being located together, under one roof, through one front door, making the service more integrated and efficient.

Work is well underway behind the scenes to bring this project to reality and both HEFT and Solihull CCG are committed to keep the public informed of its plans for the Urgent Care Centre. They have been hosting public information events at Touchwood Shopping Centre in Solihull over the summer with representatives from the CCG and HEFT on hand to answer any questions.

The next of these events takes place on Thursday 27 August in Touchwood by the Next store between 10am – 4pm, with the aim to hold more similar events in the coming months to keep the public updated on the project’s progress.
