Proposed improvements to same day access to health care services in Rutland

NHS Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Integrated Care Board is consulting on proposed improvements to same day access to health care services in Rutland

The NHS in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (LLR) is inviting people to have their say on proposals to improve healthcare services in Rutland.

The proposals would improve services for people by bringing together two existing local services – the Minor Injuries Unit and the Urgent Care Centre, creating a Minor Illness and Injury Service which would be open 8 hours a day, 7 days a week in Rutland Memorial Hospital.

The public consultation and the proposal reflect the changing needs of local people.

The proposed service, that would treat non-life-threatening conditions, would be provided by nurses, advanced nurse practitioners (nurses who have taken a Masters in clinical practice) and other clinicians who have access to and guidance from a GP. If people need it, they would be receive a prescription for medication (drugs).

People are encouraged to find out more about the proposals and have their say to help the local NHS understand what the proposed changes would mean for people and their families, so that we can make a final decision.

The public consultation will run from Monday 13 January until Sunday 16 March 2025.
