They have a walk in gp type service in hospitals, I've used the one at guys in London bridge in the past and it was relatively quick. Search for urgent care centre, sure there will be others around if that's not close

+1.
Up here (Glasgow) there's a 'Minor Injuries' unit in one of the hospitals near me that doesn't have an A&E. Ambulances don't go there and probably more importantly, neither do the police (I've sat in the A&E at another hospital waiting for hours while the popo march folk in and out constantly).

Dredge.
After my off yesterday I dressed my grazed hip about 10x10cm having cleaned it. Today in the shower it I took / it came off. So currently slathered in savlon with a dressing over it.
It doesn’t look too great and it’s more uncomfortable than it was pre shower.
I went to the pharmacist who had very little in the way of dressing none of which seemed appropriate.
Second pharmacist also didn’t have much and suggested I should see a wound nurse either at the GP (which seems impossible currently) or Hospital.
I really don’t want to go to the hospital because one it’s quite minor and two I’ll be there forever given how minor, in the scheme of things, it is.
Is there an alternative in SE area that has good stock of dressings ideally open late? Or should I suck up a hospital wait?
