Community Minor Injury and Illness Units (CMIIUs) can treat children and adults for a range of minor injuries and illnesses, in a calm environment and there is free parking.
You can get treatment for things like:
- Sprains
- Cuts and wounds
- Skin problems, such as rashes, bites, stings and infections
- Minor eye injuries
- Minor fractures
- Minor head injuries.
People are seen and treated promptly based on clinical need.
Staffed by highly trained nurses and paramedics, there are 6 units across the county and you don’t need to live in that area to use one.
The CMIIUs are open from 8am to 8pm every day, including weekends.
By using the 111 service, you can have a booked appointment at the most appropriate unit for your needs. It’s still possible to just walk in, but you may have to wait longer to be seen.
Information on locations, opening hours and the range of services provided is available here and here.
