X-ray facilities are open Monday to Saturday 9am to 5pm. X-rays are not available on bank holidays.

Minor injury unit

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

Check live waiting times and opening hours.

Remember your nearest unit may not be the quickest. If you need advice before you travel, visit NHS 111 online or call 111.

What can minor injury units treat?

Minor injury units can treat:

  • sprains and strains
  • minor breaks or fractures
  • traumatic wound infections (not surgical wounds)
  • minor burns and scalds
  • head injuries (where the person has not been unconscious)
  • insect and animal bites and stings
  • minor eye injuries
  • cuts, bruises and grazes

When your GP is closed, they can treat suspected infections. These include sore ears and throats.

Most minor injury units have access to x-ray.
