Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital is a public hospital in Grimsby, Lincolnshire, England. It is managed by the Northern Lincolnshire and Goole Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.[1]
History
The hospital has its origins in a workhouse infirmary that opened in Scartho Road in October 1894.[2] The original building and its clock tower were designed by Ernest William Farebrother.[3] The facility has been known by several names since its founding, including Scartho Road Infirmary and Grimsby General Hospital.[4] The facility became a general hospital after the creation of the National Health Service in 1948.[2][5] The League of Friends of the Grimsby Hospitals was founded in 1956 to help fundraise for hospital improvements not available under the NHS.[6]
In the 1970s, it was decided to build a modern facility on a site to the immediate south of the infirmary.[2] The hospital was officially opened by the Princess of Wales as the Grimsby District Hospital on 26 July 1983 and was renamed in her honour following her death in 1997.[7]
At the forefront of infection control, the Trust was a pioneer of the "clean your hands" campaign in 2003.[8] Subsequent developments included a new Family Services Unit opened in 2004,[9] a new cardiology unit opened in 2005,[10] a new breast care unit opened in 2007[11] and the first phase of a new Accident and Emergency unit opened in August 2008.[12]
In popular culture
In 1985 the hospital was used for filming scenes of the film Clockwise.[13]
