Cuts & tumbles

Toddler cut their chin? We can close it at home.

A tumble, a split chin, a crying toddler — and a baby who needs her nap. Rather than packing everyone into a car for A&E, send us a photo of the cut. If it suits tissue glue, a doctor comes to your home to clean and close it.

Why a home visit for a cut

No A&E trip with the whole family in tow.

Small, clean cuts on the chin, forehead and eyebrow are some of the commonest toddler injuries. Many can be closed with skin glue instead of stitches — no needle, no stitches to remove, and it is done in a few minutes.

Send a clear photo of the wound by WhatsApp when you contact us. It helps the doctor judge whether glue is likely to suit or whether the cut needs stitches or a hospital, before anyone travels. At home, the doctor checks your child for any other injury, cleans the wound, closes it and tells you how to look after it.

What the doctor does

Assessment and treatment, at home.

Photo first

A WhatsApp photo lets the doctor give an early view on whether the cut suits glue, stitches or hospital. The decision is confirmed in person.

Cleaned and closed at home

The wound is cleaned and closed with tissue glue where suitable — in your living room, with your child on your lap.

A check for other injuries

A fall hard enough to split a chin can knock the head or teeth too. The doctor checks for both.

Send us a photo of the cut and we’ll tell you what we can do.

Safety first

When a home visit is not the right call.

Call 995 or go to A&E instead if

Bleeding won’t stop after 10 minutes of firm pressure; the cut is deep, gaping or you can see fat or bone; your child lost consciousness, has vomited, is unusually drowsy or is acting strangely after the fall; the cut crosses the edge of the lip or is near the eye; there is something stuck in the wound; or it is an animal bite.

Tissue glue is for small, clean, straight-edged cuts. Larger or ragged wounds may need stitches, which the doctor will discuss with you.

How it works

Care arrives in three simple steps.

1. Tell us what’s wrong
WhatsApp or call any hour. We ask a few questions and confirm the fee for your time window.
2. A doctor comes to you
Islandwide, day or night. The arrival window is confirmed when you call.
3. Treatment at home
The visit is a flat $300 in office hours (Mon–Fri, 8am–5pm) or $450 after hours, including a 30-minute consultation. Medication, consumables and procedures are billed on top and itemised on your receipt — the doctor tells you before anything extra is done.

For small, clean cuts that suit it, yes. Send a photo by WhatsApp so the doctor can give an early view, then the doctor comes to your home to examine your child, clean the wound and close it with tissue glue.

Small, straight cuts with edges that come together easily often suit glue. Deep, gaping, ragged or heavily bleeding cuts may need stitches or hospital care. A photo helps us advise, and the doctor confirms in person.

It lets the doctor judge, before travelling, whether the cut is likely to suit glue or needs a hospital instead — so you don’t wait for a home visit that can’t help. Only send it to our WhatsApp, and only a photo of the wound itself.

Call 995 if your child lost consciousness, has a fit, vomits repeatedly, is unusually drowsy or irritable, or if bleeding won’t stop with 10 minutes of firm pressure.
