Making it easier for patients to receive same day care
West Kent Primary Care was awarded the contract to provide the GP element of the Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) at Sevenoaks Hospital. There are three UTCs across West Kent, with the remaining two located within Maidstone Hospital and Tunbridge Wells Hospital. West Kent Primary Care works with a group of 15 local GPs to cover the UTC rota. The UTC is open 8am-8pm 7 days a week 365 days a year. The UTC offers urgent same day appointments with a GP. Patients can ‘walk in’ to request an appointment or book via NHS 111. Patients booked via NHS 111 will be prioritised over walk ins.
