Rothbury is situated in the rural heart of Northumberland and is accessible by road B6344 via the A697. The new Rothbury Community hospital is located in the south side of the village and was opened in October 2006.
The state of the art ward consists of twelve individual bedrooms, with television/telephone facilities, full en-suite amenities and full disabled access.
The hospital specialises in a wide range of care, covering such specialties as Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Palliative Care, Outpatients, 24 hour Minor injuries unit, and a Day Hospital.
Staff from Northumbria Healthcare Foundation Trust share the building with health and social care colleagues from Northumberland Care Trust and North East Ambulance Service.
Local GPs will also provide some services from the building, bringing together integrated services for the first time in Coquetdale.
