This unit, together with its 'sister' units in Nenagh and St John's Hospitals, provide a swift, efficient Emergency Department-avoidance option for a total of around 40,000 patients every year who need treatment for a range of non-lifethreatening injuries, including breaks, sprains, burns and wounds. But how to know when you can be treated in one of these units, instead of presenting at the region's only ED in UHL? We spoke to:

- Dr Cormac Mehigan, Consultant in Emergency Medicine & Lead, Ennis Injury Unit; and

- Mhairi Barron, Registered Advanced Nurse Practitioner to find out more

Thanks to Cormac and Mhairi for making the time to talk to us.

For more guidance on the injuries that can be treated in Injury Units, visit the HSE website here.


If you suffer an injury and are in doubt about where you need to go for assistance, staff at any of our Injury Units will be happy to take your phone call. Contact details for the three Injury Units in UL Hospitals Group are available on the HSE website:
