Minor Injuries

There were suggestions on this Forum that the Roehampton Minor Injuries unit at Queen Mary's had been reopened, thanks to Putney's MP. Just to say it is still shut with staff saying they don't know when it will be back in operation.

I was also told the pharmacy had been moved to St.Georges for now.

Thanks for this info.  I wonder where the nearest minor injuries unit isIt's very disappointing as I've used the QMH unit a couple of times

Alexander, yes says should be open, this was put on the front page of the forum on 20th October. Perhaps if you ring reception they might know if it will still open or not.

I DID RING AND WAS TOLD FLATLY THAT IT WAS SHUT, WITH NO FIRM DATE FOR REOPENING.

Just checked. Nearest recourse is Chelsea and Westminster or Charing Cross Hospital. I think these are straight A&E facilities.

If you go to A&E at St Georges they assess you at the door and send you to the relocated Minor Injuries Unit in another part of the hospital - I know this because I have been during lockdown.

Thanks for  letting us know but perhaps someone ought to contact Fleur? Just saying.

Hate to say it, but it appears anything Fleur says seems to have a jinks on it.

Fleur Anderson informs me that that the Unit will open on Tuesday 1 December. It won't be a walk-in on the old basis, but you'll be able to ring 111 for a same day appointment. Doctor and nurses in attendance. Will run at least till March 2021.
