Due to a technical issue, Widnes UTC is currently experiencing intermittent telephone and computer outages.
Until this issue is resolved, a reduced service is in operation.
This means:
- Waiting and treatment times could be much longer
- Some patients may be asked to visit other neighbouring UTCs in Runcorn and St Helens
If you are not sure what to do, and it isn’t a 999 emergency, please visit www.111.nhs.uk for help and advice.
Thank you for your understanding.
