The walk-in service was previously suspended due to coronavirus restrictions.
Dr Lalitha Iyer, Medical Director at NHS Frimley Clinical Commissioning Group, said: “We’re delighted that we are now in a position to reopen this service for both walk-in and booked appointments.”
If you are registered with a Bracknell Forest GP practice, or you are a Bracknell Forest resident, you can continue to access a booked appointment for minor illness through your GP practice, with appointments available at the Urgent Care Centre but also at other local sites.
