Minor injury unit

If you need urgent, but not emergency, NHS care in Cornwall, contact NHS 111.

Contact NHS 111 by phone or online at any time of day or night, to find out where you should go and when.

If needed, expert clinicians will arrange for you to be seen at the emergency department or at our range of other treatment units. Please don’t just turn up, as you may be directed elsewhere or have to wait longer.

This will help the NHS manage the flow of patients when capacity in waiting rooms is much smaller than before, to maintain distancing and reduce the risk of infection.

It means you will get the right treatment, more quickly, and probably closer to home as well.

And if you’re a visitor to Cornwall, you don’t need to look up details of NHS services if you need urgent treatment, just call 111 or use 111 online service.

Community treatment centre and overnight service

Open 8pm to 8am every day by contacting NHS 111.

The service is provided by an advanced clinician from Kernow Health CIC, who deliver the county’s urgent care service out of hours. The service is accessed by calling NHS 111 and treats people who would have historically attended the minor injury unit out of hours, or who need an appointment with the out-of-hours GP service.

Ward

The hospital has 1 ward which has 12 beds providing inpatient care and patients who require rehabilitation following surgery or illness.

The ward has use of a day case bed where patients come in for the day for their treatment and are supported fully before they are ready to go home, therefore not requiring an overnight stay.

There is a dedicated space for patients nearing the end of their life which is a quiet area for them to be with their families.

Protected mealtimes

The ward has protected mealtimes between midday and 1.30pm and from 4.30pm to 6pm, however if you would like to help your relative to eat and drink you are welcome to stay on the ward.
