Stroud General Hospital is a health facility in Trinity Road in Stroud, Gloucestershire, England. It is managed by Gloucestershire Health and Care NHS Foundation Trust.
History
[edit]The facility has its origins in the Stroud Dispensary which was established in a room at the Lamb Inn in Church Street in 1750.[1] After the dispensary had moved to permanent facilities at the corner of Bedford Street and George Street in 1823, an extension to create a proper hospital was completed in 1835.[1] The current facility at Trinity Road was officially opened by the Bishop of Gloucester in December 1875.[2] The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948[1] and the maternity unit was completed in 1953.[3] In February 2012 NHS managers agreed to halt plans for the hospital to be run by a social enterprise after local residents mounted a legal challenge in the High Court.[4] Parts of the hospital were refurbished in 2012[5] and in 2018.[6]
