Portland was a naval hospital which was handed over to the NHS in the early 1950s. 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 as well as outpatient clinics and an outpatient physiotherapy service.

Minor injuries unit

If you require urgent care, please call 111 or go online for an assessment. This help us to provide the right support/treatment as quickly as possible, and could save you an unnecessary journey.

If you turn up unannounced at the MIU, you will be assessed but could be directed elsewhere or given an appointment later that day or the next.

The last appointment at all MIUs is half an hour before closing time.
