In an emergency dial 999 or attend your nearest Emergency Department.

For guidance and advice on the treatment of minor injuries and ailments, the NHS 111 Wales website is the first port of call.

If  you are unsure whether you should attend an MIU, please telephone in advance, to allow our colleagues to put you or your loved one in the right place, at the right time, the first time.

If your condition cannot be dealt with at the Minor Injuries Unit, then you will be referred to your GP or nearest Emergency Department or to another appropriate service.
