Community hospitals
Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust runs four community hospitals:
- Bishop's Castle Community Hospital
- Bridgnorth Community Hospital
- Ludlow Community Hospital
- Whitchurch Community Hospital
Minor injury units
There are four Minor Injuries Units in the county. They are co-located at:
- Bridgnorth Community Hospital
- Ludlow Community Hospital
- Whitchurch Community Hospital
- Oswestry Health Centre
Short notice closures
Due to the walk-in nature of the Minor Injuries Unit, on occasions we experience very high numbers of patients or patients requiring immediate care and may need to close the unit at short notice to maintain safe patient care to patients within the unit. Should this happen, a notice on the Minor Injuries Unit door will provide details of other services to access treatment.
Health centres
Shropshire Community Health NHS Trust runs a range of services for people in Oswestry and north west Shropshire from the Oswestry Health Centre.
