A NEW Urgent Treatment Centre (UTC) at Newcastle's Royal Victoria Infirmary is likely to open in "mid-January" next year - with hospital bosses hoping it will have an immediate benefit during the busy winter period.
The Newcastle Hospitals NHS Trust are due to receive the keys to the new building on December 15, a board meeting heard last week.
