Official NHS performance

96.4%England average for walk-in units

NHS England publishes these figures for Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS Trust as a whole, covering every walk-in unit the trust runs rather than this site alone. Nationally, walk-in units like this one see 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 here.

In the NHS Friends and Family Test for August 2026, 82% of 2,887 patients who responded across the trust reported a positive experience.

Frequently asked questions

How do I check the current MIU wait time at Malvern?

When is the MIU at Malvern quietest?

Based on the last 28 days of readings at Malvern, waits are usually lowest around 9am and highest around 5pm. The typical-day chart on this page shows the full hour-by-hour pattern, and our guide to the best time to visit covers UK-wide patterns.

How long will I wait at Malvern MIU?

MIUs treat urgent but non-life-threatening problems, and most patients are seen more quickly than at a full A&E. You will be assessed on arrival and the most urgent cases go first. For chest pain, stroke symptoms, severe breathing difficulty or major trauma, call 999 instead of attending. NHS England's most recent figures (September 2026) show 97.9% of patients across the trust's walk-in units were seen within four hours.

How often are the waiting times on this page updated?

Figures refresh every 15 minutes, and the last-updated time near the top of the page shows exactly when the newest reading was taken. Waiting times can change quickly, so treat any figure as a guide rather than a guarantee.

Is the MIU at Malvern open 24 hours?

No - opening hours vary by day - see the opening times listed on this page. Outside opening hours, the nearby section on this page lists alternative urgent care, or call NHS 111 for advice. In an emergency always call 999.

Where this data comes from
Wait times shown here are sourced from publicly available information published by Worcestershire Acute Hospitals NHS 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 7:42am 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.
