Salisbury District Hospital is set to benefit from new NHS measures aimed at reducing pressure on emergency departments.
Plans include a new urgent treatment centre at the hospital as part of a nationwide expansion of services.
The move is designed to help patients access care more quickly and reduce demand on busy A&E departments.
Urgent treatment centres treat less serious conditions such as minor injuries and illnesses, allowing hospitals to focus on the most critical cases.
The announcement comes as the NHS rolls out wider plans to tackle so-called corridor care, where patients are treated in hospital corridors due to high demand.
Specialist teams are also being deployed to hospitals across the country to improve patient flow and reduce waiting times.
Health leaders say the changes will help ensure patients are treated in the right place and with greater dignity.
The new services are expected to be introduced later this year, helping to strengthen healthcare provision ahead of the winter period.
