Designed to ditch the 8 AM appointment scramble, it’s open daily from noon to 8 PM, no booking needed. Average weekly visits hit 173, with a peak week topping 230. Patients and staff are happy so far, and it’s part of a national push to add a million more urgent care slots. Six clinics are live across Scotland, with 30 more planned — but not everyone’s on board. Some doctors argue the money would be better spent speeding up regular GP access and warn that if these clinics don’t actually ease pressure on main services, they should be shut down and funds redirected.
