Rothbury Community Hospital
Rothbury Community Hospital is located in the south side of the village.
For the Rothbury GP Practice please see here.
Due to the rise in cases of coronavirus in the community, non-essential visiting is suspended in hospitals across Northumberland and North Tyneside.
We’ve taken this difficult, however important, decision to protect our patients and staff.
Until further notice, visiting will only be permitted in the following circumstances and PPE must be worn:
- For patients who are receiving end-of-life care or are terminally ill and in the late stages of their illness
- For birthing partners in maternity units
- For parents or legal guardians in the children’s unit
- For long-stay patients and those with dementia or where best interest decisions or exceptional clinical/social matters are being discussed, at the discretion of the nurse in charge
Women can bring their birthing partners when attending 12 or 20-week scan appointments.
For more information, see here.
Online Consultation
Where appropriate you may be asked to attend a consultation online via a video call.
Rather than travelling to your appointment, you go into the clinic’s online ‘waiting area’. We will be notified when you arrive and your clinician will join you when ready
You don’t need to set up an account and no information you enter is stored.

- General Information
Services that operate from the hospital include physiotherapy, occupational therapy, outpatient and child health clinics.
Whilst the inpatient beds are closed at the moment we are working towards implementing an integrated nurse / therapist led 24-hour community care facility, with medical cover and a flexible bed base, at the hospital. This will mean that patient care will be interchangeable either at home or in a hospital bed depending on clinical need. Our aim is to have this integrated care hub operational from April 2020.
