History
The hospital, which replaced a small local dispensary, was opened after a fund-raising campaign by the Hon. Charles Spencer MP in October 1897.[1][2] An operating theatre and extra consulting rooms opened in 1902, an X-ray department opened in 1905 and an eye department opened in 1908.[2] It joined the National Health Service in 1948.[3]
As part of a major redevelopment plan, a major new main ward block and Post-Graduate Education Centre were completed in 1976 and the new Rockingham Wing, for the treatment of maternity and gynecology patients, opened in 1977.[3] A new accident and emergency department opened in 1993, the Centenary Wing opened in 2000 and the Jubilee Wing, for the treatment of dermatology patients, opened in 2003.[3] The new Foundation Wing, which included children's and cardiac wards and a new intensive care unit, was completed in April 2013.[4]
