Common misconception
All clinics offer the same services.
Different clinics specialise in different types of health services. It's important to understand what each clinic offers.
Teacher tip
It would be helpful for pupils to have a local map displayed of where the nearest urgent care walk-in centre is. This could also be compared to where the hospital is as part of the discussion about when emergency care is needed.
