Portland Community Hospital

COVID-19 update: In line with new Government restrictions to limit the spread of COVID-19 (coronavirus) we are no longer allowing visitors into our hospitals and inpatient units. A small number of exceptions will apply. We understand these restrictions are very difficult, but are necessary to slow the spread of the virus and keep people safe. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Outpatient appointments are continuing to take place and we would recommend you come alone unless it is with a child or someone that needs additional support. For further information please review how our services are running or contact the service directly. Prior to attending a site, please refer to your appointment letter for specific details on visiting so you are COVID-19 safe and also review our general guidance.

Portland was a naval hospital which was handed over to the NHS in the early 50s. At the time it had both orthopaedics and children’s services with its own kitchen and staff accommodation.

Now, Portland Hospital now still meets the needs of both Portland and the wider community in Weymouth with a Minor Injuries Unit and X-ray available, as well as outpatient clinics and an outpatient physiotherapy service.
