Milestone for Lochaber Hospital project

A major milestone has been reached for the new Lochaber Hospital, with the formal planning application now submitted. 

This marks an important step toward delivering a state-of-the-art healthcare facility for Fort William and the wider Lochaber community.

Designed to replace the 60-year-old Belford Hospital, the new development will provide modern, sustainable and future-proofed clinical spaces. The project aims to enhance patient experience, support clinical efficiency, and meet the region’s future healthcare needs.

The new rural general hospital, which forms part of a wider programme to redesign and strengthen local health services, will feature an Emergency Department, operating theatres, inpatient beds including a maternity unit, an infusion suite, outpatient department and diagnostics facilities.
