It's your last chance to share your views on proposals to change on-the-day health services in Rutland. Don’t miss out!

Have your say by Sunday 16 March 2025 on proposals to merge two existing local services at Rutland Memorial Hospital – the Minor Injuries Unit and the Urgent Care Centre.

This would create a Minor Illness and Injury Service, open 7 days a week, providing non-emergency treatment when care is needed on the same day.

Have your say on new proposals to provide same day healthcare services in Rutland.

This will be achieved by bringing together two existing local services and creating a Minor Illness and Injury Service which would be open 7 days a week in Rutland Memorial Hospital.

It's really important that people in Rutland let the NHS commissioners know their views on the proposals, and how the changes will affect themselves, their families and friends.

Have your say on proposals to improve access to health services in Rutland for treatment on the same day.

The NHS in Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland is inviting people to have their say on proposals to improve healthcare services in Rutland.

The proposals look to improve services by bringing together two existing local services – the Minor Injuries Unit and the Urgent Care Centre, creating a Minor Illness and Injury Service which would be open 8 hours a day, 7 days a week in Rutland Memorial Hospital.

The proposed service, that would treat non-life-threatening conditions, would be provided by nurses, advanced nurse practitioners (nurses who have taken a Masters in clinical practice) and other clinicians who have access to and guidance from a GP. If people need it, they would be able to receive a prescription for medication.

Please find out more and have your say to help the local NHS understand what the proposed changes would mean for you and your family.

People have until Sunday 16 March 2025 to share their views. To find out more about the proposals and how you can get involved to have your say, please visit www.bit.ly/rutlandsurvey

We want to understand the journey self-funders take to find out what help is available to make decisions about what care and support to obtain.

By ‘self-funders’ we mean people whose assets exceed the threshold for local authority funding and who pay for their own social care such as home care support or care home accommodation.
If you have looked for information about paying for social care/support for yourself or someone else, we'd like to hear from you! Have you found the information you need? If you have gone on to arrange and pay for care or support, are you happy that you got good information and guidance to help with your decision?
Complete the survey, it takes just 4-5 minutes: https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/s/4QMFAH/
