Call MIA
If you have a minor injury, call MIA the Minor Injuries Assessment service on 01324 566130.
You will be offered an appointment to visit a Minor Injuries Unit or a virtual video assessment. Offering video consultations for minor injuries means that patients can be seen at a convenient time from the comfort of their home or workplace.
You will need to use a device such as a smartphone, tablet or computer with a webcam. At the time of your appointment, simply click on the link provided which will open a live secure chat. An experienced practitioner will then ask you questions, perhaps look at the injury and advise you on the next steps. These may be:
- Self Care Advice
- Ask you to attend the Minor Injuries Unit either same day or next day (an appointment time will be given)
- Use local services such as a Pharmacy
