Solihull Hospital changes
Solihull Hospital is becoming a designated Covid-free hospital doing cancer operations and other operations which have been put on hold since the Coronavirus outbreak.
From Monday 1st June 2020, the current Minor Injuries Unit and Acute Medical Unit will close temporarily. Local people needing treatment for emergencies and minor injuries will need to go to Birmingham Heartlands Hospital or the Queen Elizabeth Hospital.
If you think you may be having a heart attack, stroke or other major emergency, phone 999 or 112 for an ambulance rather than making your own way to hospital.
Time is of the essence in those situations and people can then get initial treatment in the ambulance.
