Short Notice Closures
Due to the walk-in nature of the Minor Injuries Unit, on occasions we experience very high numbers of patients or patients requiring immediate care and may need to close the unit at short notice to maintain safe patient care to patients within the unit. Should this happen, a notice on the Minor Injuries Unit door will provide details of other services to access treatment.

Parking
A new camera-operated system has been introduced at Oswestry Health Centre – the car park will remain free to use for patients and visitors to the site for up to 90 minutes.
The system will operate as follows:
- A camera will read vehicle number plates upon entry to the site and again on exit.
- Patients and visitors to the site and Blue Badge holders will be required to enter their vehicle registration details on touch screens located in various departments throughout the health centre,
- Once the vehicle registration is added via the touch screen, patients and visitors will be given 90 minutes free parking on site
Anyone leaving the site without inputting their details will be liable to a fine from Parking Eye and would have to contact Parking Eye directly to resolve the issue as the administration for this will be dealt with solely by the company.
