THE HSE has moved to remind Limerick people who only have minor injuries to use St John’s – as opposed to University Hospital Limerick.
St John’s Hospital’s minor injuries unit is open seven days a week for the treatment of sprains, breaks and minor burns.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, the unit has been of crucial assistance in relieving pressure on the Emergency Department at University Hospital Limerick (UHL), which is required for treatment of Covid-19 cases and the most seriously ill patients with other conditions.
St John’s has one of the most consistently in-demand injury units in the Mid-West.
