Changes to Minor Injury Clinic

Important information from NHS Forth Valley

NHS Forth Valley is changing the process for attending the Minor Injuries Unit within Forth Valley Royal Hospital, Larbert. 

Previously you could just turn up but now they are asking people to phone the NHS helpline first.

This is because they are trying to reduce waiting times and also hopefully avoid an unnecessary journey to Larbert from rural areas especially if the journey can be avoided.

You MUST phone NHS 24 on 111 and not just go to Minor Injuries directly.
