New treatment centre to open in Stafford

A  brand-new urgent treatment centre (UTC) will be opening at County Hospital in Stafford.

Work on the facility is due to begin this month and should be complete by Spring 2027.

Treating both adults and children, the new UTC will provide same day treatment for a range of minor illnesses and injuries meaning locals can access care closer to home.

Open seven days a week, the centre will build on the facilities already available at County Hospital and complement the existing Emergency Department, so patients can be assessed and directed to the service that they need.
