❄️ Slipped on the ice?

If you’ve got a cut that may need stitches, a sprain, a minor burn, or a broken bone below the knee or elbow, our Minor Injuries Units (MIUs) are designed to treat you quickly and comfortably.

MIUs have dedicated staff, facilities and processes for these conditions, and many people are seen faster than at A&E, which is prioritised for life‑threatening emergencies.

👉 Call NHS 24 on 111. You’ll get advice on what to do next. This might include a phone/video consultation and a timed appointment at an MIU.

Let’s look out for each other during the cold weather ❄️

Freezing temperatures are set to continue this week. Please check in on older and frailer neighbours and loved ones.

Small acts of kindness make a big difference. Picking up shopping, helping someone to an appointment, gritting a path, or sharing a cup of tea can mean the world.

✅ Top winter tips: keep warm & keep moving (aim to heat rooms ≥18°C); look after your mental wellbeing; attend winter vaccinations if eligible; wash hands regularly; and if it’s icy, walk like a penguin to avoid slips.

Glasgow Royal Infirmary staff have been praised for their life‑saving care 💙

Brian Wands spent 84 days in the ICU, had multiple surgeries and a 95‑unit blood transfusion. Thanks to the incredible teams across GRI, he’s now back with his family. He's also back to practising pilates daily, holding a five-minute plank, and even returning to the tennis court.

“Thanks to these teams, my wife still has a husband, my children still have their dad, and I have been able to return to my role.”

A&E is usually at its busiest during winter, and there may be quicker ways to access appropriate care. Think ABC before going to A&E.

🔹 Ask yourself: Do I need to go out? For information on keeping yourself well and treating minor illnesses and injuries at home, visit the NHS Inform website or download the NHS24 Online app.

🔹 Be aware: There is help for many conditions right on your doorstep. Your local pharmacy and other healthcare settings offer a range of services.

🔹 Call 111: If it’s urgent, or you’re not sure, call NHS 24 on 111. They’ll make sure you get the help you need.

Unless you have a serious injury or your condition is life-threatening, A&E is not the best place to go.

Around 100 people every day are coming to A&E when they could be treated faster and more appropriately elsewhere.

Remember the ABCs of accessing care:

🔵 Ask yourself: Do I need to go out? Check NHS Inform or the NHS24 app for advice.
🔵 Be aware: Your local GP, pharmacy, dentist, or optician can help with many conditions.
🔵 Call 111: If it's urgent or you're unsure, call NHS 24 on 111 for guidance.

Let's keep A&E for life-threatening and urgent conditions only.

As temperatures drop, we’re reminding everyone of a simple tip to avoid slips and falls: waddle like a penguin! 🐧

It might look funny, but it works:

✅ Bend slightly and keep knees loose
✅ Point feet out
✅ Take short, flat-footed steps
✅ Keep your centre of gravity over your feet

Share this advice with friends and family, especially those who may be less steady on their feet.
