Minor Injuries Unit at Stamford and Rutland Hospital to reopen in October
It's been closed temporarily due to the pandemic
Stamford and Rutland Hospital's Minor Injuries Unit will reopen in October. It's been closed temporarily due to clinical staff needing to be moved around at the height of the pandemic.
This was to help other Trust Emergency Departments - it'll be back open on October 1st.
Phil Walmsley, Chief Operating Officer for North West Anglia NHS Foundation Trust, said:
“We want to thank local residents for their patience whilst we have had to enforce this temporary closure of the MIU in Stamford. We are now working towards reopening the service which I know will come as welcome news to many.”
Patients with minor illnesses need to continue to seek clinical assessment and advice from the community pharmacies and General Practitioners. Alternatively, patients can call NHS 111 for advice on accessing the most appropriate healthcare service for their needs or 999 where there is a life threatening emergency"
