Our A&E is currently under intense pressure. We encourage our local community to help reduce pressure on the hospital, and only attend A&E if they are experiencing a life threatening condition. Alternatives to A&E include the Salisbury Walk In Centre and NHS 111: https://111.nhs.uk/ and by phone. For minor illness local community pharmacists can provide advice and a range of over-the-counter medicine and treatments. We ask for your support as we work to improve the flow of patients through the hospital. If you have friends or family waiting to be discharged please try to respond quickly to calls about their ongoing care at home or in another setting.

The earlier nationwide issue with some IT systems that affected virtual/telephone appointments at our hospital have been resolved. All impacted patients will be contacted to rearrange the appointments. We apologise for the worry and inconvenience this situation has caused. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.

Due to a nationwide issue with the some IT systems today Salisbury District Hospital is unable to hold any virtual/telephone appointments. The national fault means that at present we are unable to contact patients to cancel or rearrange. A national team is working on the fault and all impacted patients will be contacted once the system is operational again. We are incredibly sorry for the worry and inconvenience this will have caused. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
