Self Help

Here are some useful links for self help for issues with pain and injuries in the following:

All of this is provided by Derbyshire Community Health Services below.

Derbyshire Community Health Service has a lot of resources which can also be used for acute pain and injuries as well as longstanding issues.

You can access this from here

Minor Injuries

If your injury is not serious, you can get help from a Minor Injuries Unit (MIU), rather than going to an A&E department. Minor Injuries Units can treat sprains and strains, broken bones, wound infections, minor burns and scalds, minor head injuries, insect and animal bites, minor eye injuries, injuries to the back, shoulders and chest.

There are nearby MIUs at Ripley Community Hospital and Ilkeston Community Hospital and no appointment is normally necessary as they offer a walk in service.
