The Same Day Emergency Care unit will care for between 20 and 30 patients a day, with the aim of each patient being treated, and discharged in the same day, and so avoiding the need for a hospital admission.
It is currently open 8am to 9pm Monday to Friday and 10am to 6pm at weekends.
Patients cannot self-refer. Access is via a GP practice, the North West Ambulance Service or another NHS service such as an Urgent Treatment Centre.
