Official NHS performance

96.4%seen within 4 hours at walk-in units
60.4%seen within 4 hours at major A&Es
September 2026England, NHS England figures

NHS England does not publish a separate return for this unit, so there are no official figures for this site on its own. Across England in September 2026, walk-in units, urgent treatment centres and minor injuries units saw 96.4% of patients within four hours, against 60.4% at major A&E departments - which is why minor injuries are usually dealt with faster at a unit like this one.

Where this data comes from
Wait times shown here are sourced from publicly available information published by Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. These figures reach us through a partner NHS data feed rather than a page we check directly, and are refreshed every 15 minutes. Data was last checked at 12:12pm on 26 Oct 2026. A full list of every source we use, and when each was last checked, is on our data sources page.

This site is independent and has no affiliation with, or endorsement by, any NHS trust or hospital. Department labels shown (e.g. A&E, MIU, UTC) are our interpretation of the source data and may not match the hospital’s own terminology. Wait times change frequently and may not reflect the current situation, so always contact the hospital directly for the most up-to-date information. If any information is incorrect, please let us know.
