It will specifically cater to minor injuries.
A new Injury Unit at the Vista Primary Care in Naas is set to open today.
The unit is part of a broader initiative to establish Injury Units nationwide.
It will specifically cater to minor injuries.
The unit, operating seven days a week from 10 am to 8 pm, will not treat patients under 16 years of age.
Patients can walk-in for a fee of €75, which is less than the €100.00 fee charged if they were to attend an Emergency Department.
There is no charge for patients who have Medical Card or who have a referral letter from their General Practice, KDoc or from the ED
Patients eligible for treatment at the new facility include those with:
- Broken bones, sprains, and strains from knees to toes
- Broken bones, sprains, and strains from collarbone to fingertips
- Minor facial injuries, including oral, dental, and nasal injuries
- Minor scalds and burns
- Wounds, bites, cuts, grazes, and scalp lacerations
