Naas Hospital's New Injury Unit Set To Open Today

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
  • Small abscesses and boils
  • Splinters and fish hooks
  • Objects stuck in eyes, ears, or nose
  • Minor head injuries (fully conscious patients without loss of consciousness or vomiting after the head injury)
