If you have a minor injury please Call MIA – our Minor Injuries Assessment service.
You will be offered a video consultation so you can quickly access clinical advice or given an appointment in either Stirling or Larbert.
To arrange a Call MIA video consultation for minor injuries or to get advice for other urgent health issues which are not life-threatening please call NHS 24 day or night on 111.
What happens during a Call MIA video consultation?
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.
