Urgent care near Hayling Island
We found no A&E or urgent treatment centre (UTC) listed on Hayling Island itself. For urgent but not life-threatening problems, start with NHS 111, which can direct you to the right service and may book you an arrival time.
In an emergency, call 999. Do not drive yourself to A&E: the NHS advises asking someone to drive you, or calling 999.
Nearest urgent treatment centres
Urgent treatment centres deal with problems such as sprains and strains, suspected broken bones, cuts and bruises, stomach pain, skin infections and rashes, high temperature, and emergency contraception, and you do not need to be registered with a GP (NHS: when to go to a UTC). Portsmouth Hospitals University NHS Trust's Know Where To Go page names these as the closest UTCs, with opening hours as stated on that page (undated, so check before travelling):
- St Mary's Health Campus, Portsmouth, PO3 6DW: 8am to 8pm, GP on site.
- Gosport War Memorial Hospital, PO12 3PW: 8am to 10pm.
- Petersfield Community Hospital, GU32 3LB: 8am to 8pm.
The Trust notes UTCs can only do X-rays for limbs, and that you do not need an appointment for most urgent care services, though NHS 111 may book an attendance time.
Nearest A&E (emergency department)
The nearest emergency department we have confirmed is at Queen Alexandra Hospital, Southwick Hill Road, Cosham, Portsmouth, PO6 3LY, phone 023 9228 6000 (nhs.uk listing). The NHS says A&E departments are open 24 hours a day, every day, and are for serious injuries and life-threatening emergencies. If you are not sure, check your symptoms on 111 online or call 111.
When to use NHS 111
NHS 111 can help if you need medical help right now but it is not an emergency, and when your GP is closed. 111 online is for people aged 5 and over, and you should call 111 for a child under 5. It can direct you to A&E, a UTC, an evening and weekend GP, a nurse callback, a pharmacist or your own GP (NHS: when to use 111). Text relay users can call 18001 111.
Pharmacist, GP or dentist first
For minor illnesses a pharmacist is often quickest, see our pharmacy guide. Your GP practice details are in our GP surgeries guide, and urgent dental advice is in our dentists guide.
