A new appointment system has been launched for urgent injuries in a bid to reduce waiting times and help ease pressures at St John’s Hospital.
NHS Lothian has launched a new appointment-based system for patients with strains, sprains, suspected broken bones, wounds, burns, stings and bites, who are now being asked to call NHS 24 on 111 to make an appointment with an expert in one of Lothian’s Minor Injuries Units (MIU).
