Reading again has an Urgent Care Centre, open from 8am to 8pm every day at the doctor's practice on the first floor of Broad Street Mall.
The Urgent Care Centre will see people with urgent conditions. It asserts that it does not treat injuries - perhaps because it has no X-ray facilties. Anyone with and injury or a life-threatening condition should attend the Royal Berkshire Hospital's Accident and Emergency Department.
The centre is commissioned to offer 100 appointments per day over an eighteen month pilot period. These appointment would be shared between people presenting themselves at the centre,
and those referred by the Royal Berkshire Hospital, GPs, and parammedics .
The centre is run by HCRG Group Ltd, a successor to Virgin Care and owned by Twenty20 Capital.
