Andover War Memorial Hospital provides in-patient rehabilitation, an outpatient unit, maternity services, a day surgery unit and a minor injuries clinic.
The site also houses the Countess of Brecknock Hospice, which provides six in-patient beds, day care, and a base for Macmillan Nurses.
The Minor Injuries Clinic in Andover is led by Emergency Nurse Practitioners and Emergency Paramedic Practitioners who are experienced in treating minor injuries. The clinic now accepts walk-in patients, however booked appointments will take priority. Patients should access NHS 111 either online or by phone for an assessment as to whether they need an appointment. If so, patients will be given a time slot to attend the local hospital.
The hospital is a 10 minute walk from the mainline train station. It is approximately 20 minutes’ walk from the town centre or a 5 minute bus ride from the town centre. The bus stops outside the hospital.
