Treats patients with broken bones, dislocations, sprains, strains, shoulders to fingers and knees to toes, wounds, scalds and minor burns that are unlikely to need overnight admission to hospital, Mallow Injury Unit is delighted to continually treat and provide swift treatment and care to Cork’s GAA stars.
Staffed by consultant led teams of experienced doctors, nurses, radiographers and physiotherapists, the unit is open 7 days a week, last patient at 7pm.
Aidan Walsh, Cork hurler said: “As a GAA player, injuries are always a possibility. During my GAA career, I have been subject to some serious injuries and Mallow Injury Unit has always been my first port of call.
“The MIU provides swift efficient and effective treatment, and the team here are great and professional at all times. I am very lucky to have access to such a vital amenity in the Mallow area and I would encourage anyone with broken bones or in need of an X-ray to contact Mallow Injury Unit.”
