Have your say on plans to improve access to health services in Rutland for treatment needed on the same day

The proposals look to improve services for people by bringing together two existing local services – the Minor Injuries Unit and the Urgent Care Centre, creating a Minor Illness and Injury Service which would be open 8 hours a day, 7 days a week in Rutland Memorial Hospital. 

The proposed service, that would treat non-life-threatening conditions, would be provided by nurses, advanced nurse practitioners (nurses who have taken a Masters in clinical practice) and other clinicians who have access to and guidance from a GP. If people need it, they would receive a prescription for medication.

Please spend a little time to find out more about the proposals and have your say to help the local NHS understand what the proposed changes would mean for you and your family.
