First Community's Caterham Dene Minor Injury Unit (MIU) is open from 8am-8pm seven days a week for adults aged 18 years and over.
The MIU can assess and treat a wide range of conditions including:
- Cuts and grazes
- Sprains and strains
- Broken bones (fractures)
- Bites and stings
- Infected wounds
- Eye problems (infections and scratches)
- Sports injuries
- Minor burns and scalds.
Average wait times are less than one hour, making it a convenient alternative to A&E, and it’s just a short journey from East Surrey Hospital.
You do not need an appointment; however, you are advised to book by calling NHS 111 before you travel to ensure you're directed to the most appropriate service for you.
