If you live in Halton your next Dietitians appointment may be at the new Halton Health Hub at Runcorn Shopping City.
The Hub has NHS signage and is a short walk from Car Park 3 which has ample disabled parking bays and is free of charge. When you arrive you will find that the front windows are fully frosted so passers by can not see people in the waiting area and the reception desk is set back from the front doors. All of our treatment rooms are fully private.
Please remember to bring your appointment letter with you as normal.
Services will continue as normal at the Warrington site and any patients attending Warrington clinics will not be affected by this change.
