Bridgnorth Minor Injuries

It’s certainly true when they say it’s the teamwork that makes the dream work !

Breast cancer has touched all of our team’s lives and the last year has seen staff, friends and family becoming survivors and receiving active treatment, through early detection and improvements in treatments.

A few weeks ago, our Jackie P had a crazy idea of raising a £1000 for the Breast Cancer Awareness charities . We’ve done similar things in the past for various causes but never had a vision for this amount. Raffle tickets were sold and money donated to win prizes.

Well today, our grand total reached £1064.78 !!!!! An amazing achievement.

The raffle has been drawn and if you have won a prize one of the team will be in touch.

We would like to thank each and every one of you for donating to the raffle and to local businesses and individuals for donating prizes. You donations will go a long way in trying to prevent this horrible disease and improve lives.

The MIU team wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy, healthy New Year xx

Did you know that every day we see patients arriving in Minor Injuries with conditions we cannot treat?

We understand this may be disappointing especially for those patients who have travelled a long way. Some patients even show their frustration with verbal abuse to staff which is not acceptable, and yes, this happens most days too.

We urge you before travelling to see our criteria and the patients we can treat or call 111 for advice.

Please note our X-ray facility is available 9-5pm Monday to Friday and is closed at Weekends and Bank Holidays.

Thank you

If you have not injured yourself then chances are the Minor Injury Unit isn’t the right place to get help. If you are unsure call 111 for advice thanks
