Your health this winter

Winter is a busy time for the NHS and there are a huge range of services available, so knowing the best place to go to get the right help is really important.

Urgent Treatment Centres and Minor Injury Units are open

NHS services in Somerset are very busy this time of year - remember, if you have a non-life threatening injury or illness and need local care with short waiting times (and free parking), you can get help at your nearest urgent treatment centre (UTC).

There are UTCs in community hospitals based at:

Frome
Glastonbury
Shepton Mallet
Chard
Bridgwater
Minehead

Burnham-on-Sea has a Minor Injury Unit.
