Roscommon Injury Unit is here for you this Christmas

With winter upon us and Christmas just around the corner, Roscommon University Hospital is reminding people that its Injury Unit is open from 8am to 8pm, 365 days per year to treat a range of injuries which are non-life or non-limb threatening as an alternative to visiting a busy Emergency Department. The Injury Unit is located within the Urgent Care Centre at Roscommon University Hospital and is staffed by Doctors, Advanced Nurse Practitioners and Nurses.

Maggie Mew, Advanced Nurse Practitioner, Roscommon Injury Unit explains, “We are able to see, diagnose and treat a wide range of injuries for both adults and children over five years of age. You do not need a GP referral, we have a walk-in-service and we have Covid measures in place for people presenting to the unit.  Our team is experienced in treating people quickly and efficiently; the average turnaround time for seeing and treating patients at Roscommon Injury Unit is less than 60 minutes.
