Brighton General Hospital is an acute general hospital on Elm Grove in Brighton, East Sussex. It is managed by Sussex Community NHS Trust. The main Arundel building is a Grade II listed building.[1]
History[]
The hospital has its origins in the Brighton Workhouse Infirmary which was designed by George Maynard and opened in September 1867.[2] It was extended to create additional wards and pavilions in the 1880s.[2] The building served as the Kitchener Indian Hospital during the First World War.[2] It became Brighton Municipal Hospital in 1930 and joined the National Health Service as Brighton General Hospital in 1948.[2][3]
Development[]
In October 2018, the Trust announced that it intended to sell most of the site for residential development.[4] The plan is to convert the listed buildings for residential use, and provide a new purpose-built community health facility on part of the site.[4]
Services[]
The hospital offers a range of screening, diagnostic, treatment and rehabilitation services including paediatrics, elderly care, diabetic care, back care, audiology, physiotherapy, and specialist care for heart failure, MS and Parkinson's Disease.[5]
