Core Service

Acute Injury Care, with X-ray on-site.

Sprains, cuts, stitches and suspected fractures, assessed on the spot, with X-ray on-site. No appointment necessary.

Overview

A minor injury, assessed properly, without an Emergency Department wait.

Cuts, sprains and suspected fractures are common reasons people put off getting checked, especially when the alternative is a long Emergency Department wait for something that turns out to be minor.

Athlone Medical assesses acute injuries on a walk-in basis, with X-ray carried out on-site where a fracture is suspected, so most minor injuries can be fully assessed and treated in a single visit.
