The Minor Injuries Unit (MIU) at the Yeatman Hospital in Sherborne remains closed.


Dorset Health Care Trust closed the unit in the early weeks of lockdown on April 6, 2020, to manage the impact of Covid-19.

Residents in Sherborne and the surrounding villages, a catchment area with a population of as many as 22,500, who need medical treatment for minor injuries are being advised to ring Weymouth Urgent Treatment Centre on 01305 762541 for assessment.

The New Blackmore Vale is appealing for anyone who has had a minor injury since the MIU closed, to email karen.bate@blackmorevale.net.
