Installation of a modular ward and diagnostic pad at Camborne Redruth

The modular units for a new stroke rehabilitation ward in the grounds of Camborne Redruth Community Hospital are now in place. Work to install a new diagnostic pad onsite is also complete. We know these works have had a significant impact on parking, including the temporary closure of the car park outside the minor injury unit. We would like to thank you for your patience during this time.

While the pressures on car parking have reduced, work to fit out the modular ward is ongoing. During this time, you will continue to see activity onsite and the area around the compound will remain busy. This will include landscaping works and the installation of cables. Please bear with us while these final works are carried out.

The diagnostic pad is located on the wall side of the car park outside the main entrance to the hospital. Now the pad is up and running, a mobile MRI scanning unit will be in place on a 2 weeks on 2 weeks off basis. At times when the scanning unit is not present, the pad area will be available for parking.

While we understand your frustrations, we kindly ask you not to park on the verges or along kerbed areas of the hospital site when spaces are full. This will ensure emergency vehicles have easy access to our site, and that staff, patients and visitors can enter and move around the site safely.

Once again, we apologise for any inconvenience during the building works. We hope you will continue to work with us to support these significant investments in the site.

Minor injury units, or MIUs, treat a range of injuries that have happened in the last 14 days. Nurses, paramedics and healthcare assistants run our minor injury units.

We have 10 minor injury units spread across Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly. You do not need an appointment and can walk in

What can minor injury units treat?

Minor injury units can treat:

  • minor burns and scalds
  • head injuries (where the person has not been unconscious)
