Minor Injuries Unit
The Minor Injuries Unit at St Bartholomew's Hospital offers a
service to City residents, workers and visitors suffering from
injuries such as cuts, burns, bites, sprains, broken bones, scalds,
stings and strains - whether sustained at home or at work. Because
of the specialist nature of this facility, it is able to offer a
quicker service than that which would normally be available for
minor injuries at an A&E Unit.
The unit is open from 8.00am to 8.00pm Monday to Friday (closed
weekends and Bank Holidays).
The entrance is in Giltspur Street, EC1.
The Minor Injuries Unit at Barts will close on public holidays.
During these periods of closure, services will be provided in the
A&E Department at the Royal London Hospital.
