About St Mary's Community Hospital

St Mary's Community Hospital is a small but vital healthcare facility serving the Isles of Scilly. It includes a Minor Injuries Unit (MIU) that provides treatment for minor injuries that require urgent attention but are not life-threatening. The MIU is staffed by experienced healthcare professionals who can treat a range of minor injuries and ailments. X-ray services are available on Thursdays only - please call ahead to confirm availability before making your journey. For serious or life-threatening emergencies, patients may need to be transferred to mainland hospitals, so it's important to call 999 immediately in these situations.

This facility is a Minor Injuries Unit, not an Accident & Emergency (A&E) department. MIUs are equipped to deal with minor injuries that require urgent attention but are not life-threatening.
