A previous march over the decision to close the ward in October attracted hundreds of people who were frustrated over the way changes to the hospital were being implemented.
“Time and time again there is no consultation, there’s no communication from our trust to the people of Rugby,” march organiser Thomas Crinigan said.
“We don’t hear nothing, all we’re hearing is that services are being cut.”
Julie Weekes, from Keep Our NHS Public, told the BBC the ward closure was “big concern” ahead of the pressure on services over the winter.
“Clearly the people who are affected most in the winter are those who are vulnerable and particularly the elderly and yet we’re going to have 25 beds fewer for those people,” she said.
