Can MIU manage my problem?
Your local MIU can treat patients aged 5 years and over if you have:
- Cuts and wounds (including those that may need stitches)
- Minor burns and scalds

- Insect bites or other animal bites
- Tetanus immunisation after an injury
- Minor head injury – where there has been no loss of consciousness or vomiting, and no residual symptoms i.e. headache, nausea, visual disturbance, dizziness or any other symptom of concussion
- Removal of foreign bodies from eyes, nose or ears
- Nose injuries and broken noses
