Ripon Minor Injury Unit

Ripon Minor Injury Unit

Explore an alternative to emergency departments with shorter wait times, free parking, and specialist staff. Open daily with weekday X-ray facilities.

The Minor Injury Unit (MIU) at Ripon Community Hospital provides an alternative to our Emergency Department. The MIU usually has shorter waiting times than the Emergency Department and can help reduce the strain on our emergency services. These services are drop-in services.

If you have a recent injury, our staff at the MIU can, in most cases, help and advise. If we’re unable to deal with your injury, we will advise and direct you to the most appropriate service.

Appropriate presentations include:

Please note: Free car parking is available at Ripon Minor Injuries Unit.

Our Minor Injury Unit is staffed by a small team of urgent care practitioners (highly experienced staff with specialist minor injury training) and healthcare assistants.

The Unit is open 8am-6pm, seven days a week. X-ray facilities are available between 8.30am-4.30pm on weekdays. Outside these times we can still assess your injury, but may transfer you to an Emergency Department if you require an X-ray.
