Although
its better to always look on the bright side of life,
there may be a time when you may unexpectedly need medical
help, in those cases Newcastle is well equipped to help
you out.
If you require urgent medical assistance then head to Newcastle General Hospital’s Accident and Emergency
Department [map].
The other option would be to dial 999 but this number
is only to be used in a true emergency (and not just for
transport to the hospital).
For non emergencies, the city does have a Walk-In Centre [map] next to the A&E department at Newcastle General Hospital.
Here nurses are able to offer advice and treatment on
a range of medical topics including emergency contraception,
cuts, bites and blood pressure checks. The clinic is open
seven days a week until 9:00pm.
However if your aliment does not warrant the services
of a nurse then a pharmacy could be your best bet. Although
they can only dispense a limited range of drugs without
a doctor’s prescription, the pharmacists/chemists
may be able to provide you with something to help.
If your ailment is of a dental nature then you can try Newcastle Dental Hospital’s Emergency Clinic
[map] . They have a morning and an afternoon surgery, however
the clinic can only see a certain number of cases so it
is best to go in the morning. For non urgent cases, there
are several dentists in and around the city centre that
are able to treat non registered cases but do call first
to make sure.
