Urgent Treatment Centre

Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) Derriford

A new Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) has opened its doors to patients at Derriford Hospital. Located in the brand-new, three-storey Dartmoor Building, the UTC will be open daily from 8am to 8pm, for patients of any age.

Urgent Treatment Centres are walk-in facilities and are available to treat injuries and illness which are not life-threatening but still require urgent treatment. The new UTC will provide treatment in addition to the Cumberland Centre in Devonport and Minor Injury Units in Tavistock and Kingsbridge.

You should visit the UTC if you have an injury which is not life threatening, but still requires urgent treatment such as:

• Limb fractures
• Minor illness
• Sprains and strains
• Minor head injuries
• Minor scalds and burns
• Bites and stings
• Foreign body in eyes
• Infected wounds and cuts
