If it doesn't you will not be seen by a doctor but redirected to your GP or the nearest suitable Emergency Department.

We presented our most recent Injury Unit audit last week. This showed that almost 20% of our fracture patients are over 50 and have had a "low-velocity" Injury, eg a fall from a standing height. Do you know this may be a sign of osteoporosis?

We are aiming to increase awareness among staff and clients alike and to ensure we arrange timely intervention by linking back with your GP.

Make every encounter matter-if you have any questions please ask us!
