Barnsley Hospital is an acute general hospital in Barnsley, South Yorkshire, England. It is managed by the Barnsley Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.
History
[edit]The hospital has its origins in the Barnsley Union Workhouse Infirmary which opened in 1852.[1] It was expanded in 1875 and a new purpose-built infirmary, designed with a pavilion layout, was completed in 1883.[1] It became Barnsley Municipal Hospital in 1930 but was renamed St Helen Hospital in 1935,[2] before joining the National Health Service in 1948.[2]
A major redevelopment of the site to create Barnsley District General Hospital was completed in 1977.[2] The facility became known as Barnsley Hospital in 2005.[2]
In 2021 an extension to the emergency department was opened which brings together the hospital’s previous paediatric units into a single location.[3]
