Abstract

The Minor Injuries Unit at St Charles Hospital, London, opened in early 1993. Its establishment is placed in the context of radical changes occurring in Accident and Emergency provision within the UK. The unit's success has exceeded initial expectations and mirrors the potential for such units detailed in recent studies. The use of treatment and prescription protocols are discussed. The effective utilisation of existing and potential nursing skills is demonstrated.
