Accident & Emergency, Minor Injuries, Walk-in Centres

Minor Injuries Services

Many people go to A&E even though they could be treated just as professionally and usually more quickly at a Minor Treatment or Minor Injuries Unit.

Best for: lacerations; sprains and strains; bites and stings; infected wounds; minor head injuries; eye infections

NHS Walk-in Centres

NHS Walk-in centres offer fast and convenient access to healthcare advice and treatment. They are run by experienced nurses and you don’t need to make an appointment.

Best for: minor injuries and illnesses; urinary tract infections; ear or skin infections; dressing changes; stitches; emergency contraception.

Accident and Emergency Departments

A&E Departments provide emergency medical care 24-hours a day for people suffering from a life threatening or critical illness or injury such as: loss of consciousness; heavy blood loss; suspected broken bones; persistent chest pain; difficulty breathing; overdose, or poisoning.
