Dawlish minor injuries unit has reopened

The minor injuries unit has finally reopened after being closed for four years.

Its operating hours will be Monday – Friday, 8am – 5pm. An ‘appointment-priority’ service will be in place, with people able to call and book appointments for the same day. To book an appointment call 01626 895203 and book an appointment for the same day.

The unit will also support walk-in visitors but appointments will be prioritised so people may be redirected. This system follows the model at Totnes Community Hospital’s MIU which has helped protect the service and maintain consistency.

The unit will reopen without x-ray facilities at this time due to radiology workforce constraints.

Dawlish MIU was originally closed as part of Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic due to staffing levels and demand for services.

The advanced practitioner roles required at the unit is used across wider healthcare services creating a competitive market, but Torbay and South Devon now has the personnel to provide the MIU service.
