The hospital’s minor injury unit is run by highly skilled nurses who are available to treat a range of minor conditions. If you are unsure whether your injury can be treated here, NHS 111 is available to provide further advice. The unit is also able to treat minor illnesses.

Latest on the opening hours of the minor injury unit

Due to staffing shortages, we announced that we had taken the decision to temporarily close Stratton Minor Injury Unit (MIU) overnight on 7 December 2018. The unit was previously open 24/7. The reduced opening hours were based on the times when the unit was most in demand eg between 8am and 10pm. Read the latest update dated March 2019. 

In July 2019, an innovative partnership approach which will enable overnight services to return to Stratton Hospital was endorsed by Cornwall Council’s Health and Adult Social Care Overview and Scrutiny Committee. The trailblazing proposal will see overnight services return to the Hospital in August 2019, in the form of a new service which is being described as a’ Community Treatment Centre’.
