The new Folkestone NHS Walk-in Centre offers fast, convenient access to local NHS treatment for minor injuries and illnesses, as well as healthcare advice and information.

The centre is located next to the Royal Victoria Hospital  Click for map

Opening Times
  • 7am to 10pm Monday to Friday
  • 9am to 10pm Weekends and Bank holidays
No appointment is necessary and you do not need to pre-register.
Although the opening hours are long there may be certain times such as mornings when the centre will be busier.

The centre is designed to compliment existing health services and offers:
  • Treatment for minor injuries and illnesses
  • Assessment by an experienced NHS nurse
  • Advice on how to stay healthy
  • Information on out-of-hours GP services
  • Information on dental services
  • Information on local pharmacy services
  • Emergency contraception
  • Information on other health services

I believe that the modern and convenient
'Open Door' approach that we provide at the
centre will be highly beneficial to the people of Shepway.
