Rothbury Community Hospital is a health facility at Rothbury, Northumberland, England. It is managed by Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.

History

The original facility was built as a private home known as Coquet House in 1872.[1] It was converted into the Coquetdale Cottage Hospital in 1905.[1] A maternity ward was added, as a lasting memorial to soldiers who died in the Second World War, in 1946.[1] It joined the National Health Service in 1948[2] and the adjoining Hawthorn Cottage was acquired in 1956.[1] After Hawthorn Cottage had been converted into a physiotherapy department, it was officially re-opened by Jimmy Savile in 1990.[1] After the old hospital became dilapidated, modern facilities were built in Whitton Bank Road and opened in 2007.[1] The new hospital closed to inpatients in September 2016[3] and in June 2019 the trust advised that a group was working on proposals for the future of remaining services at the hospital.[4]
