Shropshire residents are being urged to “choose well” this Easter by taking their minor injuries to one of the counties four Minor Injury Units (MIUs) instead of attending busy A&E departments.

Our MIUs, which are based at Ludlow, Bridgnorth, Oswestry and Whitchurch, are staffed by experienced Emergency Nurse/Paramedic Practitioners. The units can treat a wide range of problems including:

  • Bites, human and animal
  • Cuts and lacerations
  • Foreign bodies in the eyes, nose and ears
  • Suspected fractures that require plaster only
  • Minor burns and scalds
  • Minor head injuries (with no loss of consciousness)
  • Soft tissue injuries, for example sprains and bruises
  • Wound infections
Over the Easter bank holiday weekend our MIUs will be open as follows:

  • Bridgnorth Hospital MIU - Open 8am-9.30pm every day.
  • Ludlow Hospital MIU - Open 8am-8pm every day.
  • Oswestry Health Centre MIU - Open 8.30am - 9pm on Good Friday and Bank Holiday Monday. Open 8.30am-1pm on Saturday and Sunday.
  • Whitchurch Hospital MIU - closed.
  • Please note MIU x-ray facilities will be unavailable for all four days.
