Fife’s Walk-In Service (Urgent Care), part of the Scottish Government’s Phase 2 national GP Walk-In pilot project, will be located within the Randolph Wemyss Memorial Hospital, Buckhaven.
NHS Fife and Fife Health and Social Care Partnership will launch the GP led walk-in service by the end of August.
From the end of August the service will be available if you are registered with a GP in Leven, Methil, Buckhaven and Kennoway. As part of this pilot, access is being limited initially to ensure the service is safe and effective for patients and staff, with patient demand being regularly reviewed.
From September / October 2026 we plan to expand the service at Randolph Wemyss Memorial Hospital to all Fife residents registered with a GP. Further information will follow regarding this.
The Walk-In Service (Urgent Care) will give eligible patients who have an urgent non-emergency health concern and cannot attend their usual GP practice access to same-day, face-to-face assessment and treatment without an appointment.
It is designed to complement existing general practice (GP) services and community pharmacy provisions, ensuring patients receive the right care, in the right place, at the right time.
From the end of August, the Walk-In service (Urgent Care) will be open from 10am until 6pm Monday to Friday.
At weekends and public holidays people should call NHS 24 on 111 to be clinically triaged and directed to the most appropriate place for their care.
