There is obviously a need for no-fuss walk-in facilities - just look at the surgeries at most London terminus stations now. Anyone can walk in off the street and see a doctor - for a price. A free version of that would be handy. The old Ravendene surgery facility was handy too. It is now based at the hospital which is fine but it feels OTT going to the hospital for an out of hours ear syringing.

But then again the place she was registered at in Brum for many years was pretty much a polyclinic already. It's just a new name for an old idea - a GP centre which has a lot of services under one roof rather than having them spread all over. My gf thinks polyclinics are a great idea.
