The Camborne Redruth Community Hospital is a National Health Service hospital in Cornwall, England. It is managed by Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust.

History[]

The hospital has its origins in the Redruth Mines Infirmary, which was largely financed by Lord Robartes and completed in 1863.[1] An accident ward was added in 1871.[2] The West Cornwall Women's Hospital was completed on an adjacent site in 1899,[3] and the two hospitals amalgamated in 1901.[4]

The amalgamated facility became the West Cornwall Miners and Women's Hospital in 1915 and the Camborne-Redruth Miners and General Hospital in 1940.[1] It joined the National Health Service as the Camborne-Redruth Hospital in 1948 and, following a major redevelopment of the site in 2002, the old hospital building was converted into flats and the new medical facilities became known as the Camborne Redruth Community Hospital.[2]

Services[]

The hospital has in-patient beds catering for rehabilitation and stroke, as well as a Minor Injuries Unit with X-ray facilities.[5]
