The Minor Injury Unit at Tavistock Hospital is open every day (08:00 - 22:00) to treat you if you have an injury which isn’t life-threatening, but still requires urgent treatment.

Our team of nurse practitioners have undertaken specialist training and are able to assess, diagnose and treat patients of all ages (we also have x-ray facilities on weekdays 09:00 - 17:00).

Examples of the problems we can see you for:

• Cuts - we can use glue, steristrips (paper stitches) or sutures to close wounds
• Small burns or scalds
• Bites and stings
• Sprains and certain fractures (upper and lower limbs)
• Minor head injuries
• Infected wounds
• Foreign bodies in eyes

You don’t need to pre-book an appointment, just drop-in to the unit between 08:00 and 22:00.

If you are unsure whether the MIU is the right place for your treatment, please dial 01752 434390 for advice on which service is most appropriate for your specific needs.
