You can turn to a minor injury unit.

To enable us to treat patients with minor injuries safely and efficiently you must book an appointment prior to your visit. This helps us to avoid people gathering in the unit whilst they await treatment and to carry out cleaning procedures between patients.

Please call NHS 24 on 111 to discuss your injury and the best course of action. NHS 24 111 is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Once assessed by telephone, where necessary, an appointment will be made for you at the most appropriate Minor Injury Unit.

If your injury is less severe please consider the other care options available. These include: accessing advice/medicine from your local chemist/pharmacy.

In an Emergency you should still call 999 or go to your nearest Accident and Emergency Department.
