What is this service:
Most cuts and grazes can be treated at home and will start to heal in a few days. But some wounds may need to
be treated by a medical professional if there’s a risk of infection, if the injury is serious, or if you have recently
had an operation.
Simple wound care services are available to all patients over the age of 16 who are registered with a GP
practice in Barking & Dagenham, Havering or Redbridge. The services support patients with managing wounds
such as skin ulcers, first degree burns, post-surgical sutures, clips removal and routine dressings.
After having your Test, please allow the following time-scale, before contacting the Surgery about your results:
For Test results ring 020 8554 1371 between 11-12 noon & 3-4pm. and book a Telephone Consultation with the GP.
