Head injuries such as concussion, brain compression, and skull fracture are difficult for a first aider to determine and should always be treated seriously as there could be damage to the brain. We ask Dr Goh E Shaun, Specialist in Emergency Medicine, Raffles 24 Hour Emergency, Raffles Hospital, to share with us on how to manage head injuries during an emergency.

Minor Injury Units ... normally treated in under an hour

You don’t have to wait for ages in a full blown Emergency Department (A&E) if you just need stitches, have a fracture, or other minor injuries. Take advantage of minor injury units. Our MIU at Neath Port Talbot Hospital treats 6/10 patients in less than an hour and 9/10 in under two hours.
