A NEW NHS walk-in service starts today at Robin Lane Medical Centre in Pudsey for patients registered there.

It is open from 8am to 4pm Mondays to Saturdays and aims to improve access to medical services.

Methven Forbes (pictured), managing partner, said: “We have taken on a number of new staff and we believe our new approach will transform how patients access health services.

“The NHS must be more than simply free at the point of need, we must be there for patients at the point of need.”
