Most cuts and grazes can be treated at home and will start to heal in a few days. But some wounds may need to be treated by a medical professional if there’s a risk of infection, if the injury is serious, or if you have recently had an operation.
Simple wound care services are available across some parts of north east London to support you with managing wounds such as skin ulcers, first degree superficial burns, post-surgical sutures, clips removal and routine dressings.
If you are registered with a GP practice in Barking & Dagenham, Havering, and Redbridge and have been advised by your doctor or nurse to get support with managing your wound, you can book an appointment seven days a week.
No, you will need to book into a site connected to your GP Practice and the booking system will guide you through this.
Weekend appointments for residents living in Barking and Dagenham, Havering and Redbridge are provided at Barking Hospital.
Depending on the location appointments are available Monday to Friday between 8am-9.30pm and on Saturday and Sunday between 9am-5pm. Appointments must be booked in advance.
