There is a Minor Injury Unit X-ray facility at Caterham Dene Hospital open Monday to Friday 09.00-17.00 and from 10.00am - 17.00pm Saturday, Sunday and Bank Holidays.

The Minor Injury Unit is currently unable to treat children under the age of 18. If you think your condition is serious or life-threatening, you should dial 999 or go to your nearest A&E.
