NHS changes.
They call this 'improvement'?
The Minor Injury Units at Devizes, Savernake, Warminster, Melksham and Westbury will close. If you get a minor injury (cuts, bruises, sprains, simple fractures and dislocations, small bangs on the head, lightly embedded foreign bodies, etc.) then you have to go to Trowbridge, or Chippenham if it's between 7am and 1am.
If you attend with what are termed 'trivial' ailments you'll be turned away, and if you have more serious injuries you'll be sent to an emergency department.
