Staffordshire Moorlands MP Karen Bradley has confirmed that Leek Moorlands hospital’s minor injuries unit is set to reopen this month.

Leek Moorlands hospital has been used as a pop up vaccination clinic in recent weeks to help tackle the covid-19 outbreak in Leek.

The minor injuries unit was temporarily closed last year while the NHS tackled the coronavirus pandemic.

A number of smaller clinics continued at the hospital through the pandemic

Karen Bradley held a call with senior healthcare professionals to discuss the proposed reopening of the Leek Minor Injuries Unit.

I know from the many emails I have received on the matter that this will be very welcome news indeed to local residents.”

The MIU will reopen with reduced opening hours to start.

• Minor Injuries Unit
