The Royal Hallamshire Hospital is a general and teaching hospital located in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England. It is in the city's West End, facing Glossop Road and close to the main campus of University of Sheffield and the Collegiate Crescent campus of Sheffield Hallam University. The hospital is run by the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

History

The hospital was designed by Adams, Holden and Pearson and built in two phases; the first phase, a three-storey out-patients department was completed in 1971.[1] The second phase, the main building, was opened by the Prince of Wales in 1978.[2][3] The main building was designed as three main interlinked buildings, the most significant being the monolithic 21-storey concrete structure, which remains the third highest in Sheffield after St Paul's Tower and the Arts Tower.[4] It was designed with the rear part of the building overhanging a service road.[5]

The Jessop Wing, which replaced the Jessop Hospital for Women as a provider of maternity and gynecology services, was designed by the George Trew Dunn Partnership[1] and opened by the Earl of Scarbrough, Lord Lieutenant of South Yorkshire in 2001.[6]

Services

Most non-emergency departments are represented in the hospital, although accident and emergency cases are handled by the Northern General Hospital, on the north side of the city.[7] It has 14 operating theatres[8] and it provides training for both Sheffield Hallam University[9] and the University of Sheffield.[10]
