Have you seen it? What do you think? What do you think would help attract more visitors?

Ramsey's Minor Injuries and Illnesses Unit (MIU) will be closed from 15:00 today (23 September 2024), due to sickness.

MIU will re-open on Tuesday 24 September from 08:00 - 19:30.

This service requires two practitioners for the safe provision of patient care and therefore to prioritise the welfare of both patients and staff, we are asking people who would ordinarily have attended the MIU to attend the Emergency Department at Noble's Hospital instead, where a minor injuries service will be provided.

Alternative services to attend today are:

👉The Island’s Community Pharmacy Network, for support with minor ailments or illnesses
👉For those of you who don’t have a dentist, the Community Dental Service for dental emergencies ( https://www.gov.im/dentists )
👉The Minor Eyecare Conditions Scheme (MECS), operated by Specsavers in Douglas

If you think that you have a life-threatening emergency, you should always call 999. The Island’s emergency services operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

For further information about all of the health and care options available to you, please visit www.gov.im/signposting
