Additional opening hours are being introduced at the NHS Shetland Walk-In Clinic at Grantfield as the pilot service continues to expand.

From Monday 5 October, the clinic will be open from 12pm to 8pm on weekdays, alongside its existing 9am to 5pm weekend service. Patients are asked not to attend before 12pm on weekdays.

The extended weekday opening hours will provide more opportunities for people to access same-day care for urgent, non-life-threatening health concerns, including during the afternoon and early evening.

Improvement works at Grantfield have now been completed, with the Walk-In Clinic and Vaccination Team returning to the building on Tuesday 22 September following a temporary relocation to the Outpatients Department while the work was undertaken.

The Vaccination Team continues to operate from Grantfield during the week. Patients attending the Walk-In Clinic should therefore only arrive during the advertised walk-in opening hours.

As the building is used by both services, the waiting room may be busy at times and patients attending the Walk-In Clinic may have to wait to be seen. The service operates on a drop-in basis.

During the pilot period, opening days and times may occasionally vary. Patients are encouraged to check the NHS Shetland website and social media channels for the latest information before attending.

Further information about the Walk-In Clinic is available on the NHS Shetland website: https://www.nhsshetland.scot/right-care-right-place/nhs-shetland-walk-clinic
