Westhaven 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 – for people visiting their child or those who wish to spend time with a loved one nearing the end of life. However, no more than one visitor per patient will be allowed. Please contact the hospital or inpatient ward for more details.

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.

Westhaven Hospital opened its doors in 2008, amalgamating Weymouth’s previous Evergreen and John Talbot Wards to create the current Radipole Ward.

Radipole Ward has continued to serve the community of both Weymouth and Portland and has been central to providing more joined-up care through the the development of the innovative Weymouth & Portland Hub.

The Hub has enabled patients, with support, to remain in their own homes. If they do need in-patient services they can access one of the community beds on Radipole without needing an acute hospital admission.

The WesthavenHospital has been recognised both locally and nationally for its commitment to integrating services for the benefit of its local population.
