The North Staffordshire Royal Infirmary was a hospital at Hartshill in the English county of Staffordshire. It was located half a mile east of the site of the Royal Stoke University Hospital. It was run by the University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust.

History[]

The original hospital in the area was established at Etruria in 1804[1] but was completely rebuilt on a much larger basis in 1814.[2] The hospital then relocated to Hartshill as the North Staffordshire Royal Infirmary in 1869.[3][4] It became the North Staffordshire Infirmary and Eye Hospital in 1890 and the North Staffordshire Royal Infirmary in 1925.[5]

The facility joined the National Health Service in 1948[6] and, after services were transferred to the Royal Stoke University Hospital, it closed in December 2012.[7] The site is still used by the University Hospitals of North Midlands NHS Trust for car parking and offices.[8]
