Minor Injuries Units (MIUs) provide treatment for less serious injuries, such as sprains, cuts and grazes.
Many people go to Accident and Emergency (A&E) with minor injuries, when they could usually be treated much more quickly at a Minor Injuries Unit.
We have two Minor Injuries Units across Staffordshire, based at the community hospitals in Leek and Burslem (Haywood).
What do we offer you?
A wide range of conditions can be treated for example:
- wounds needing stitches
- rashes
- ear infections
- sprains and strains
- suspected broken bones
- bites and stings
- minor head injuries
- minor burns
- severe sore throats
- foreign bodies in the eye
You should attend A&E or call 999 for serious and life-threatening conditions such as severe bleeding, loss of consciousness, suspected strokes, chest pains or breathing difficulties.
You do not need an appointment to visit the Minor Injuries Units.
The Minor Injuries Unit at Leek Moorlands Hospital is currently open between the hours of 9am – 5pm.
The Minor Injuries Unit is a nurse led service which provides treatment for minor illness and injury including wounds needing stiches, rashes, ear infections, sprains and strain, suspected broken limbs, bites and stings, minor head injuries, minor burns, sore throats and foreign bodies in the eye.
