Minor Injury Units (MIUs) and Urgent Treatment Centres (UTCs) should be contacted if you need prompt advice or treatment for minor injuries and illnesses. The NHS website provides an overview of the conditions these services can treat.

Emergency

Emergency Departments (A&E) and 999 are for life threatening emergencies.

If you have a serious or life-threatening emergency – such as severe bleeding, breathing difficulties or chest pain – please dial 999 or go to your local A&E department.

If you come to an emergency department (A&E) for health concerns that aren’t an emergency you may face a very long wait as priority is given to patients with the most urgent clinical need.
