Patients do not have to be registered to see a GP or nurse at the Hartlepool NHS Healthcare Centre. We can help people with busy lifestyles who need access to flexible and convenient health services and may have difficulty accessing a convenient appointment at their registered practice.

We can also help patients who may not be registered with a GP practice who might normally attend Accident and Emergency (A&E) for treatment which could be provided by a GP or nurse.

Visitors and foreign visitors to Hartlepool are also welcome.

The following services are available to patients who would like to see visit the Centre:

• Blood pressure checks
• Contraceptive advice
• Coughs, colds and flu-like symptoms
• Information on staying healthy and health promotion
• Minor cuts and wounds - dressings and care
• Muscle and joint injuries - strains and sprains
• Skin complaints - rashes, sunburn and headlice
• Stomach ache, indigestion, constipation, vomiting and diarrhoea
• Support for stopping smoking
• Women's health problems and menstrual advice.
