See a Wound Care Doctor After Hours in Table View
Cuts, grazes and other minor injuries often happen after your regular GP has closed. A child may fall during an evening sports practice, or you may cut yourself while preparing dinner. The injury may feel too concerning to leave until the next working day, even when it does not appear to require hospital care. NocDoc gives patients in Table View, Bloubergstrand and surrounding Cape Town areas access to appointment-based medical care during evenings, weekends and public holidays. Our doctor will assess the injury, consider the risk of infection and recommend suitable treatment. Depending on the clinical findings, this may include cleaning the wound, applying a dressing, prescribing medicine or arranging further care.
Minor Injury Care Outside Regular GP Hours
NocDoc stays open until 9:00 PM every day. These extended hours give you access to a medical practitioner when many conventional GP practices have closed.
Wound Care for Children, Adults and Older Patients
We welcome infants, children, adolescents, adults and elderly patients.

What NocDoc Can Help With
You can contact NocDoc about:
Cuts and Lacerations
Small cuts and suitable lacerations that need cleaning, assessment or dressing
Grazes and Abrasions
Skin injuries caused by falls, sport or contact with rough surfaces.
Minor Burns and Blisters
Selected small superficial burns, friction blisters and broken skin.
Punctures, Bites and Scratches
Suitable puncture wounds and selected animal or human bites requiring risk review.
Dressings and Infection Review
Dressing changes and wounds showing possible signs of infection.
Sprains, Strains and Bruising
Selected soft-tissue and sports injuries with pain, swelling or reduced movement.
Minor Injuries and Types of Wounds We Treat
The right care depends on the type, location, size, depth and cause of the wound. The doctor will also consider contamination, bleeding, pain, movement and the patient’s medical history.
Cuts and Lacerations
Everyday cuts can happen while cooking, working, gardening or completing household tasks. Even a small cut may need medical attention if it continues bleeding, contains dirt or has edges that remain open.
Grazes and Abrasions
A graze removes or damages the upper layers of skin. These injuries often happen after falls, sports accidents or contact with rough surfaces.
Minor Burns
NocDoc can assess selected small, superficial burns. The doctor will consider the cause, size, depth and location of the burn before recommending treatment.
Blisters and Broken Skin
Friction, footwear and repetitive activity can cause painful blisters. A broken blister can expose the skin beneath it and increase the risk of infection.
Minor Puncture Wounds
Nails, needles, thorns and other sharp objects can create puncture wounds. The surface opening may look small while the injury extends deeper into the tissue.
Minor Bites and Scratches
Animal and human bites can carry a higher infection risk. The doctor will consider the animal or person involved, the location of the injury, the depth of the wound and the patient’s vaccination history.
When Should a Doctor Examine a Wound?
Some small wounds can heal with basic first aid. A medical assessment becomes more important when the injury is deep, contaminated, painful, slow to heal or showing signs of infection.
Reasons to Book an Assessment
Higher-Risk Patients
Earlier assessment may be appropriate for diabetes, poor circulation, reduced sensation,
weakened immunity, chronic swelling, bleeding medicine or a history of delayed healing.
Diabetic Foot Wounds
A diabetic foot wound, blister, cut or area of broken skin deserves prompt medical attention, even when it appears small.
What Happens During a Wound Care Consultation?
Your consultation begins with an assessment of the injury and your general health. The doctor will explain each recommended step and answer your questions about treatment, healing and follow-up care.
Injury and Medical History
The doctor will ask:
Clinical Examination
The doctor will examine the wound’s size, depth, location and surrounding skin.
Wound Cleaning
The doctor may clean the area to remove visible dirt and allow a more thorough examination.
Treatment or Dressing
A suitable wound may receive a dressing or another basic procedure based on the doctor’s findings and the practice’s available facilities.
Dressings and Infection Review
The doctor will consider whether the injury shows signs of infection and whether your vaccination history requires further action.
Aftercare Instructions
You will receive practical advice about:
Follow-Up or Referral
The doctor may recommend another dressing change or clinical review.
Injuries that need imaging, surgery, advanced wound care or specialist treatment will receive an appropriate referral.
