The outpatients clinics in Boots, Mell Square offers walk-in blood testing and appointments for dermatology skin treatment, children’s ophthalmology (eyes) and physiotherapy and pain management.
Heart of England NHS Foundation Trust said patients will see the same NHS staff ‘and receive the same high level of care as they would have at the hospital’.
Dr Irshad Zaki, consultant dermatologist and clinical director for dermatology at Solihull Hospital, said: “The feedback we have received has been extremely positive.
“We are proud of what we have achieved at the clinic and believe it paves the way for more healthcare services in the community.”
Ian Brown, healthcare development manager for Boots, said: This removes the need for patients to visit the Hospital and offers the convenience of a pharmacy located on the same site.”
