Industrial action by Junior Doctors is planned from 7am on Thursday 27th June to 7am on Tuesday 2nd July. The hospital will be very busy, but will continue to focus on providing safe patient care. Our teams will continue to ensure patient safety and maintain critical services. During this period please consider alternatives such as your GP, local pharmacy, and out of hours, the Salisbury Walk-in Centre. If you are unsure about whether you should go to hospital you can visit СÓŶÌÊÓƵ 111 online or by telephone.

Information about the car parking situation at Salisbury District Hospital: The discussion around car parking at the hospital needs to be put into some context. On the 54-acre site Salisbury District Hospital has capacity for 450 inpatients per day, sees 250,000 outpatients per year and has a workforce in excess of 5,000. To cater for this, the hospital currently provides 2,177 spaces for car parking. There are 720 for patients and visitors which includes 20 drop-off bays, 115 spaces for blue badge holders and 14 spaces for charging staff and visitor electric vehicles, the remainder are for staff. Following the launch of the staff hopper bus, in March 2024, with changes in car parks 8 & 9, 40 parking spaces were transferred from staff to patients.

The three trusts that form the Acute Hospital Alliance - СÓŶÌÊÓƵ, Great Western Hospitals СÓŶÌÊÓƵ Foundation Trust and Royal United Hospitals Bath СÓŶÌÊÓƵ Foundation Trust - have embarked on a new programme to implement a new shared Electronic Patient Record (EPR) across the three organisations. With backing from the Bath and North East Somerset, Swindon and Wiltshire Integrated Care Board (BSW ICB), the significant investment over the 23/24 – 26/27 financial years will enable clinical staff within the region to digitally share patient information between Trusts.
