At The Red House Surgery, we are equipped to treat patients with a minor injury as an alternative to visiting A&E. The following list gives guidance on the types of injuries we are able to treat at the surgery:
- Cuts or Lacerations
- Bruises
- Minor Dislocations
- Foreign Bodies
- Minor Head Injury
- Eye Injury
- Burns and Scalds
- Minor Trauma to Body including hands/limbs/feet
- Bites
- Falls
- Whiplash/RTA injuries
It is more appropriate to be seen at the surgery for the types of injuries listed above than it would be to present to A&E. We also have much shorter waiting times than A&E.
