Think NHS 111 for minor injuries and urgent care

3rd August 2021

Swanage Hospital.jpgIf you have an ailment or injury which requires urgent care, call NHS 111 and you will be given advice or – if necessary – booked in for a face-to-face appointment at the appropriate site.

Please do not just turn up to one of our minor injuries units – you cannot be seen without an appointment.

Only go to an A&E if it is an emergency and always call 999 for anything life threatening.

If your injury is not life threatening or serious, minor injuries units and urgent care centres can treat:

  • sprains and strains
  • broken bones
  • wound infections
  • minor burns and scalds
  • minor head injuries
  • insect and animal bites
  • minor eye injuries
  • injuries to the back, shoulder and chest.
