Plan for new care centre at hospital
The Sentinel
|December 31, 2025
It will help to divert cases away from A&E departments
A NEW urgent treatment centre could be built at Stafford's County Hospital if plans are given the green light.
The proposal, submitted to Stafford Borough Council, would see a single-storey extension constructed alongside the existing A&E department at the Weston Road site.
NHS Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent Integrated Care Board (ICB), which oversees healthcare provision across the region, is rolling out urgent treatment centres (UTCs) as part of a nationwide initiative. Similar proposals have also been put forward to Stoke-on-Trent City Council for a UTC at Royal Stoke University Hospital.
