Minor Injuries

We also offer a Minor Injuries service to our patients.  If you should suffer a minor injury, (slip or fall, blow to the head, cuts and lacerations, animal or insect bites etc) please contact the surgery in the first instance as we should be able to deal with your problem without the need for you to go into the walk in centre or A&E.  Do be aware however that this is a service for minor injuries.  Chest pain or collapse etc. should be seen by trained Paramedics by calling 999.  If we are unable to deal with your minor injury we will advise you on where to seek assistance.
