Solutions to reduce pressures on emergency departments
Minor injury units (MIUs) aim to relieve pressures on hospitals by diverting non-urgent cases away from overcrowded emergency departments. Located within hospital or community settings, our unit ensures that patients receive appropriate care in the most convenient location.
Our minor injury unit streamlines care and enables emergency departments to prioritise more critical cases, supporting with:
- Minor burns and scalds
- Cut and wounds
- Sprains and broken bones
- Minor head injuries
"Our mobile Minor Injury Units provide a flexible and efficient solution for addressing the growing demands on urgent and emergency care. We can help to reduce pressures and ensure patients receive appropriate care, whilst improving overall efficiency and outcomes.”

Enhancing patient access with a mobile Minor Injuries Unit
We worked with an NHS trust to implement a Minor Injury Unit (MIU) co-located with their emergency department, offering a solution to alleviate overcrowding.
Our team developed a bespoke layout to meet the trust's needs, seamlessly integrating with the existing pathway and enabling patients to be redirected from A&E to the MIU after initial triage.
