Purley War Memorial Hospital

There are long-term plans to build a brand new diagnostic, outpatient and health service centre on this site in the south of the borough.

Services currently provided are:

Urgent Care Centre:

This nurse-led service is for patients who have a minor illness or medical problem that is not life threatening but they would like to see someone urgently. No referral or appointment necessary.

Opening times

8am to 8pm seven days a week.

Last registration is 7pm which ensures patients receive a thorough assessment. Anyone arriving after this time will be advised of alternative locations where they can receive treatment.

X-ray is available 9 am to 7pm Monday to Friday. There is no x-ray facility at weekends or Bank Holidays.

Staffing

The service is staffed by a receptionist, one emergency nurse or advanced nurse practitioner and one staff nurse from 8am to 8pm.

A radiographer provides x-ray support from 9am to 7.00pm Monday to Friday.

There are no doctors available for this service. Some of the nursing staff are independent prescribers.

Treatments offered:

Minor injuries sustained with the last 48 hours
Minor illness out of hours-evenings and weekends for patients unable to access GP out of hours services.
Urgent primary care patients whose condition necessitates immediate assessment and treatment and who cannot wait for a same day or next day appointment in primary care.
