I fell over and gashed my knee quite badly yesterday...still sore and I would like to get the wound checked, but it's not really big enough to warrant time at A+E. Apart from the Lister walk in clinic, do we have a minor injuries walk in centre or similar nearby...the NHS choices website is useless. Thanks!

You will get turned away from A&E for this sort of injury. My suspected broken wrist was treated at the Urgent Care Clinic at Guys & St Thomas' at London Bridge. Seems to be the one to go to for ED - http://www.guysandstthomas.nhs.uk/our-services/emergency-care/urgent-care-centre.aspx

Thanks all for the information - I went to the Lister walk in after all, very quickly seen and a nurse has now dressed and cleaned the offending knee...my worry was infection as it was starting to feel very hot and sore, usually not such a wuss but wanted to get advice to avoid further drama!

It was the Waldron at new cross which used to be a minor injuries unit but that is now apparently a walk in clinic like Lister.


Friends have used the Beckenham one and rate it, but driving is a bit tricky with a really useless knee joint!


Thanks again!

Very sensible catma - a friend of mine had what appeared to be a minor cut before Christmas, didn't get it seen to and within a couple of days was admitted to hospital with a bad infection and an arm full of pus. He's just come out after a month long stay and a skin graft.

    • Leaving the country having been made somewhat more difficult than it used to be.  Can't quite put my finger on why.

    • In just two days, we’ll take to the streets to show Donald Trump that he and his politics are not welcome here. On Saturday the global far-right mobilised their biggest protest for decades. We want to show that supporters of Trump and fascism are not the majority – far from it. Here are all the details you need for the day. The march assembles at Portland Place, near the BBC, at 2pm (see assembly blocs below). After speeches here, the march will move off at 3pm. It will then march down Regent St, through Piccadilly Circus, on Whitehall (past Downing St) to our rally at Parliament Square. The rally at Parliament Square will begin around 5pm and finish at 7pm. If you can’t make it to the march, feel free to join the rally after work! (Nearest tube: Westminster). The short, accessible version of the route assembles at the top of Whitehall (SW1A 2DY) at 4.30pm to march to Parliament Square for 5pm. You may also prefer to just join the rally directly at Parliament Square.  Join a bloc – and make friends! Our movement is diverse, and various elements are forming ‘blocs’ on the march to emphasise their visual presence collectively. You can join these blocs or form up behind them:   A) Palestine, near BBC, W1A 1AA B) Climate, W1B 1NS C) Amnesty, around junction with New Cavendish St, W1B 1LU D) Migrants' rights, W1B 1LS E) Jewish bloc, W1B 1QQ F) Ukraine, around junction with Weymouth St, W1B 1JL G) Europe, W1B 1NR More stewards still needed Stewards are a crucial part of keeping the protest safe for everyone to participate. They are a visible point of contact for attendees who may need directions or other assistance. Experience of stewarding is useful but it's also fine if you haven't done it before. You will be issued with a hi-vis jacket and briefed in advance and on the day.  Sign up to be a steward Staying comfortable on the day The demonstration lasts for several hours, so we suggest you should:     Bring a bottle of water and snacks (and eat beforehand)     Charge your phone fully the night before, and bring a portable charger if you can     Go to the loo beforehand (really!)     Buddy up with someone, or stick together as a group – it can be hard to find people easily if people wander off     Coming alone? Protests can be a great place to meet like-minded people. If you feel unsure, you can always talk to a steward     Consider the weather: bring a waterproof jacket or wear suncream where necessary     Wear comfortable clothes and footwear, and use our accessible route if you need to (see above) Bring your friends and family on Wednesday. Let’s make this massive! In solidarity, Stop Trump Coalition
