Ten years ago, hepatitis C was a life-limiting diagnosis. Today, antiviral tablets cure more than 95% of cases – and the NHS has helped more than 100,000 people access this life-saving treatment.

England is on track to be one of the first countries in the world to eliminate hepatitis C, and we’re encouraging people who think they may be at risk of the virus to get tested.

There are lots of places that can help if you get injured.

Minor Injury Units and the Urgent Treatment Centre (West Cornwall Hospital, Penzance) are for help with injuries that need urgent attention but are not a life or limb emergency.

Think:
✂️ cuts that need stitches
📷 suspected broken bones
🔥 minor burns and scalds
👁️ eye problems.

Always check open times, x-ray and live wait times before you go: https://f.mtr.cool/sefnqelqwk
