A NEW SOS medical bus is set to operate on Friday and Saturday nights in Oxford city centre to treat people with minor injuries.

The service will be run by South Central Ambulance Service, so people do not need to be taken to the casualty department at the John Radcliffe Hospital.

It comes as a study funded by Healthwatch Oxfordshire report found students had a high usage of accident and emergency services and called for a minor injuries unit to be set up in central Oxford.
