South Tyneside Urgent Care for Children (STUCC)
What is STUCC?
We provide urgent care for children, up to the age of 16. We are open from 9am until 9pm every day.
This is a nurse-led service. We see minor injuries and illnesses which are urgent but not life threatening. This includes:
- Broken bones
- Children with mild breathing problems
- Common childhood infections in the chest, ears or throat
- Children who are being sick or have diarrhoea
- Cuts and open wounds that need closing
- Minor burns
- Minor bumps or head injuries
- Sprained ankle or a strained muscle
If your child has a serious emergency go to the Children’s Emergency Department at Sunderland Royal Hospital or call 999
Where can I find STUCC?
Use the Emergency Care entrance in the main building. This is to the left of the Ingham Wing Main Entrance and to the right of the Outpatients entrance.
