The directional road signs to Neath Port Talbot Hospital have changed. The old red H signs have been replaced with new blue ones to remind people the hospital doesn’t have an A&E.

Neath Port Talbot Hospital DOES offer a Minor Injury Unit, so is ideal for treating the types of minor injuries listed below. However the MIU CANNOT treat serious conditions. The new signs reinforce this very important safety message.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT go to the Minor Injury Unit with a suspected heart attack, cardiac arrest, chest pains, stroke etc, or with severe injuries. It has no doctors and CANNOT treat you. You MUST go to the Emergency Department (A&E) at Morriston Hospital if you are seriously ill or severely injured.

If you need treatment for a minor injury (see list below) please go to our Minor Injury Unit at Neath Port Talbot Hospital, SA12 7BX.

The MIU treats adults and children over the age of one. It has emergency nurse practitioners, triage nurses and healthcare support workers who can treat patients for minor injuries. Open seven days a week between 8am and 9pm.

What the MIU CAN treat

✔️Cuts and minor burns
✔️Sprains and strains
✔️Broken bones
✔️Dislocation of the shoulder, fingers and toes
✔️Head and facial injuries - provided there is no loss of consciousness, no vomiting, and you are not on anticoagulants (blood thinner) medication
✔️Neck injuries, where you are mobile with no pins and needles in your arms
✔️ Back injuries where you are mobile and do not have: *new or worsening problem starting or stopping passing urine (water) or starting and stopping opening the bowels, *new or worsening numbness or altered sensation in one or both legs, feet, thighs, buttocks or in the ge***al area
✔️ Foreign bodies in the eyes, ears and nose
✔️Non-penetrating eye and ear injuries
✔️ Rib injuries where you are not coughing up blood and you don’t have a chest infection
✔️Bites (insect, animal or human)
✔️Insect stings
✔️ Assaults

Did you know that you can get FREE medication for 26 common ailments at your local pharmacy?

The Common Ailments Service covers 26 everyday conditions and is available at all community pharmacies in Swansea Bay.

Pharmacists can offer free over-the-counter treatments for a number of ailments without the need to see a doctor first.

All you have to do is register with the pharmacy to be able to use the service, which only takes a few minutes.

Each community pharmacy has a private room where the consultations are held.
During the consultation, the pharmacist will discuss your symptoms with you and decide whether it would be best to offer advice only, treatment or refer you to a doctor.

There’s no need to make an appointment beforehand, you can visit your local pharmacy to discuss their availability on the day. You may be asked to call back at a more appropriate time or directed to a neighbouring pharmacy.

The 26 ailments covered are: acne, athlete’s foot, back pain, chickenpox, cold sores, colic, conjunctivitis, constipation, diarrhoea, dry eyes, dermatitis, haemorrhoids, hay fever, head lice, indigestion, in-growing toenails, ringworm, mouth ulcers, nappy rash, oral thrush, scabies, sore throat/tonsillitis, teething, threadworms, vaginal thrush, and verruca.

You can find more information about the Common Ailments Service on our website: https://sbuhb.nhs.wales/community-primary-care/primary-care/pharmacists/
