History

Part of the old City General Hospital

The original hospital in the area was established at Etruria in 1804[2] but was completely rebuilt on a much larger basis in 1814.[3] The hospital then relocated to Hartshill as the North Staffordshire Royal Infirmary in 1869.[4][5] It became the North Staffordshire Infirmary and Eye Hospital in 1890 and the North Staffordshire Royal Infirmary in 1925.[6]

Meanwhile, half a mile further west, the Parish Hospital was completed in 1842.[7] This facility evolved to become the London Road Hospital and Institution by the early 20th century and became the City General in 1945.[7]

New facilities were procured under a Private Finance Initiative contract to replace the both the North Staffordshire Royal Infirmary and the City Hospital in 2007. The works, which were designed Ryder / HKS[8] and carried out by Laing O'Rourke at a cost of £370 million[9] on the old City Hospital site, were completed August 2012.[10]

Keele University School of Medicine

It is the main teaching hospital for the Keele University School of Medicine. The clinical undergraduate medical school and postgraduate medical school buildings are in the grounds of the hospital, as well as the Clinical Education Centre and the Keele University Health Library which is the main teaching facility for the School of Nursing and Midwifery.[11]
