Lower Hutt After Hours Medical Centre, also called Hutt Valley Urgent Care, is a walk-in urgent care clinic on Level 1 of Verve on Connolly, 2 Connolly Street, Lower Hutt. It was established in 1991 by Hutt Valley GPs and is a combined after-hours service. The clinic is open from 8:00 am to 10:00 pm every day, including weekends and public holidays. No appointment is needed, and patients are seen in order of clinical priority after they register and are triaged by nursing staff.
Wait times vary through the day. The website says the busiest times are mid-morning to early evening on weekdays and mornings at weekends and on public holidays. The clinic closes to new patients once it has enough people to see until 10:00 pm, and it may not see everyone before closing. Consultations are free for children aged 0 to 13, and fees apply for other visits. ACC subsidises the visit but does not cover the full cost. For medical advice, the website directs people to Healthline on 0800 611 116.
