Stirling Community Hospital

Stirling Community Hospital is a base for hundreds of NHS staff and handles more than 200,000 patient appointments each year, maintaining an important presence at the heart of the community. It provides a wide range of local health services including a new Minor Injuries Unit which is based in the former Maternity Unit.  

Care Village

Plans are moving forward to develop a 'care village' on the Stirling Community Hospital site which could transform the way services are delivered to older people.

Accommodation

As part of an organisational wide savings programme, there are plans to maximise the use of existing accommodation and facilities across Forth Valley, including those on the Falkirk and Stirling Community Hospital sites.

As a result, although a wide range of health services which will continue to be delivered locally in Falkirk and Stirling, these will be delivered from existing buildings and accommodation on the Stirling and Falkirk Community Hospital sites on an interim basis.

Following a detailed review of accommodation to identify which facilities will be required to best meet the future needs of patients and staff, a number of buildings on the Stirling Community Hospital site have been demolished, including the former mortuary, laboratory block, theatre block and The Queen Elizabeth Wing.
