IMPORTANT INFORMATION
there will be no xrays available for the minor injuries unit tomorrow (thursday 23rd april) due to xray maintenance.
If you have been referred to the hub for any type of xray or scan through your GP or other, you will need to telephone the xray unit to enquire if you are still able to have it ( RMIU are not responsible in the management for the xray dept at the hub and cannot answer on their behalf)
This applies to patients who may need an xray for a Minor injury through ourselves ( RMIU)
Our staff can still assess your injury as normal, however if an urgent xray is required, you may be sent elsewhere.
Thanks

Happy Friday everyone!
We hope you have a super weekend.
We are open 8-8 both Saturday and Sunday but of course no Xray.
If your injury isn't serious or doesn't need an immediate xray, we can always bring you back by appointment on Monday. However,if you see a different clinician they would need to re-examine you. This is because of the strict guidance we have to follow in that any clinician who refers you to xray must have examined you.
Immediate need for xray over the weekend, may require you being sent to another health care facility where xray is open.
Stay safe!

Always lovely to receive such wonderful feedback from patients:

Fast, efficient, seamless process from the first moment. Seen, assessed, referred, xRay"d and results given within 75 minutes. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommended!
