Local injury units are equipped to treat many injuries, such as broken bones, dislocations, and minor burns, which often lead individuals to emergency departments.
Injury units focus on non-life-threatening conditions and can provide services like x-rays, plaster casts, and wound care while directing patients for more complex issues.
You can visit an injury unit without an appointment, and those referred by a GP are exempt from fees, enhancing accessibility for patients.
Emergency departments should be used for urgent, serious conditions, such as injuries to the chest, abdomen, or pelvis, and severe head or spine injuries.
