Following a decision in May this year by Fife Integration Joint Board, the Minor Injuries unit (MIU) at Adamson Hospital, Cupar, will relocate to the Minor Injuries Unit at St Andrews Community Hospital and MIU services will cease at Adamson Hospital at 1 pm on Friday 25th July.
Robust plans are in place to ensure a seamless transition during this time.
Minor Injuries services will continue to be available at St Andrews Community Hospital from 8 am until 6 pm on Friday 25th July during the relocation and then again as normal from Monday to Friday 8 am until 6 pm moving forward.
As always, we are continuing to advise the public if they have suffered a non-life-threatening minor injury in the last seven days to continue to call NHS 24 on 111, where they will be clinically assessed and offered an appointment at a Minor Injuries Unit, if appropriate.
We would always advise the public not to “walk in” or self-present at any Minor Injuries Unit without an appointment.
In a life-threatening emergency always call 999.
Why wait?
NHS Fife ‘Why wait?’ campaign is running throughout the summer, reminding people across Fife that help is just a phone call away.
As part of the campaign, NHS Fife and Fife Health and Social Care Partnership have produced a handy pocket guide and an accompanying poster, clearly outlining the range of health and care options available locally. These include:
• NHS 24 (111) for urgent care advice when your GP is closed
• NHS Inform’s online symptom checker
• Access to expert advice and treatment from Community Pharmacies
• Mental health support and listening services
The pocket guide has been developed to be easily carried in a wallet or purse, helping people make informed choices about their care, day, or night.
