Minor Injuries Unit at Stratford Hospital planned to re-open in August 2022
South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust and Coventry and Warwickshire Integrated Care Board (ICB) have been working closely to make arrangements to safely re-open the Minor Injuries Unit at Stratford Hospital.
The Minor Injuries Unit is planned to open on Saturday 13th August in a phased approach.
The operating hours will be reviewed regularly and will be extended dependant on staffing levels. Maintaining the level of staff needed to run the main emergency site in South Warwickshire at Warwick Hospital is a key priority and this could occasionally impact on the delivery of the Minor Injuries service, although we will always endeavour to mitigate the risk to the Minor Injuries Unit wherever possible.
NHS 111 can help if you have an urgent but not life threatening medical problem and you’re not sure what to do. Advice is available from the NHS 111 online service (for people aged over 5 years) or call 111 to speak to a trained adviser who will assess your symptoms and direct you to the most suitable healthcare service, and if required they can also book an appointment. Local pharmacies also offer expert advice for a range of common conditions and minor injuries such as cystitis, skin rashes, aches and pains, coughs and colds, red eye, sinusitis, earaches and sore throats. If you need treatment for a serious accident and emergency, such as unconsciousness, heavy blood loss, suspected heart attack, stroke, broken bones, please visit the Emergency Department at Warwick Hospital.
South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust are running a number of recruitment drives and staff development programmes to support the current staffing challenges that are being felt across the NHS nationally.
