title: Minor injury care in the community.
abstract: This article describes the setting up and running of a nurse-led, community-based, minor injuries unit. Initially meeting with resistance from the local health authority, a six month pilot study showed that the clinic could operate effectively to the benefit of the community. The process of setting up the clinic and the type of service it provides are described.
