Belford Hospital

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Belford Hospital, locally known as The Belford, is a rural general hospital in Fort William, Lochaber, Scotland. It is run by NHS Highland and Argyll.

The Belford provides secondary care to a local population of around 20 000, which can swell up to 60 000 during the summer. Currently, there are Consultant-led general medical and general surgical services. A satellite surgical service is also provided in the Mackinnon Memorial Hospital in Broadford on Skye by surgeons from the Belford.

The emergency department is one of the busiest in Scotland, and sees a significant amount of trauma due to the outdoor activities offered in the Lochaber region.
