The Rosie Hospital is Cambridge's first purpose-built maternity hospital in modern times. It is managed by the Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
History[]
The facility originates from the Central Union Poor House Infirmary which was established on Mill Road in the 19th century.[1] This establishment became the County Municipal Infirmary in 1930, developed into a maternity hospital in the 1940s and then joined the National Health Service as the Mill Road Maternity Hospital in 1948.[1]
A new purpose-built facility, established with a significant donation from local philanthropist David Robinson and named after his mother, was opened on Addenbrooke's Hospital's Hills Road site in October 1983.[1] A major expansion of the Rosie Hospital was opened by the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh in May 2013 and 5,000 babies had been born there by November 2016.[2]
Services[]
The facility is located adjacent to Addenbrooke's and contains 120 maternity and women's beds. It has its own theatre suite, fetal assessment unit, ultrasound department, and neonatal intensive care unit. It is the regional centre of excellence for maternity care.[3]
