Crawley Urgent Treatment Centre Confirms Permanent Opening Hours From 9 February 2026
Crawley Urgent Treatment Centre will continue its revised hours of 7:30am to 10:00pm, seven days a week on a permanent basis. Following a pilot since May 2024, the change has improved patient access, reduced wait times by an average of 18 minutes, and strengthened staffing during peak hours - without increasing pressure on local A&E departments.
Patients with urgent but non-life-threatening conditions are encouraged to use the UTC or a minor injury unit, helping emergency departments focus on the most serious cases. For guidance on the right service for you, visit NHS 111 online or call them.
