MALLOW GENERAL HOSPITAL

We have recently closed our Emergency Department. We have now opened Medical Assessment Unit and Local Injuries Unit. We continue to see the majority of the profile of patients that we always did. However acute surgery has moved to the City Hospitals. Our Local Injuries Unit is open from 8 am to 8 pm, 7 days a week. Although our attendances are almost at level projected, we still feel that people arent aware of the types of injuries we see etc. Can you ensure that all clubs are aware of the attached which they might display in their clubs.
