AT what is one of the busiest times of year for hospitals and A&E's, it may be difficult to access urgent medical care when you need it most.
Residents who may need to access urgent care quickly without waiting will be able to do so during the Christmas period at Bracknell Urgent Care Centre.

The centre will be open from 8am to 8pm seven days a week so people can access care and avoid visiting A&E this Christmas.
Melissa Parkes, clinical service manager at Bracknell Urgent Care Centre, said: “We wish every patient and Bracknell residents a very Merry Christmas and sincerely hope they do not need urgent care over the festive period.
"However, should they need to see a healthcare professional, the Bracknell Urgent Care Centre can treat most urgent minor illnesses and injuries.”

The medical centre is also hoping to provide essential provisions for homeless people during the colder months.
Staff members are encouraging the local community to bring food donations to the centre which will go out to those in need this festive period.
