Review titled Prompt, thorough service
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Anonymous - Posted on 31 May 2024
My grandson, on holiday, went to Urgent Care for a bad cough and lethargy. The health professional was very thorough and arranged for him to have further tests at Dorchester Hospital. Thankfully there was nothing serious but we were very impressed by the whole process. A friendly, calm atmosphere in the waiting area.

I visited urgent care, via 111 appointment. I have a cast on my broken foot and it was really_hurting me. The practitioner listened, advised me on my options and adjusted the cast. The relief was instant! I was in and out within 30 minutes. So grateful. Thankyou

Fast, efficient and caring. Over many years I've had a few mishaps, some worse than others and Weymouth triage has always been there for me and patched me up. I can't thank you all enough.

Rated 2 stars out of 5

I received a appointment reminder by text which asked me to attend time and place not shown. Details on a letter which I didn't receive Thought it was Audiology department but they said it was lung team Weymouth .Tried to contact them, no luck. Even given a direct number which turned to be ED Dorchester!So I don't know location or time. So after numerous attempts to phone I give up.Have left messages on answer phone. If they don't reply I will be a no show.

Review titled Wonderful service from the Urgent Treatment Centre
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Miranda Marden - Posted on 09 April 2023
I brought my elderly father for an appointment at the UTC on a busy Easter bank holiday weekend. The whole process was smooth, efficient and reassuring. The nurse practitioner was kind and thorough - he couldn’t have been nicer. The NHS is going through challenging times and our experience was a true reflection of high quality care.

Review titled So kind and helpful and friendly
Rated 5 stars out of 5
by Joss Scarrott - Posted on 29 November 2022
Thank you so much to the urgent care staff and the lovely person who carefully took my stitches out today. From reception all the way through, the staff were so kind, so helpful and yet very thorough and professional. Just how the NHS used to be. I couldn’t get a GP appointment, but was so relieved and glad that I went to WCH. Thank you to all. You restored my faith not just in the NHS, but in humanity. Having had some bad experiences recently, I left almost crying with joy that I had been treated so well and with respect.
