At this time of the year in particular, people come in with sports injuries that occur. Training is typically in the evening. It is a shame that people with sports injuries have to present at UHL. Stitching or a precautionary X-ray is often what is required, rather than something that requires treatment in an emergency department in a model 3 hospital.
