Exeter NHS centre to close for two days

The NHS walk-in centre in Sidwell Street, Exeter, will be temporarily closed on Wednesday 9 April and Thursday 10 April due to staff shortages at short notice.

The centre will reopen at 8am on Friday 11 April.

Patients will be signposted to the walk-in centre at Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital or to call 111.

Kate Lyons, the Trust’s director of operations, said: “We apologise for any inconvenience the temporary closure may cause.

“Patient safety is paramount and we cannot operate the service without the appropriately skilled and experienced staff.”
