The Royal Blackburn Teaching Hospital is an acute District General Hospital in Blackburn, Lancashire operated by the East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust.
History[]
The original hospital on the site was established as an infirmary for the local workhouse in February 1864.[1] Additions included a medical wing in 1903, a children's wing in 1925 and a 74-bed annexe in 1926.[1] In 1929 it became known as the Queen's Park Institution, a name which evolved to become the Queen's Park Hospital.[1]
A new hospital, to be known as the Royal Blackburn Teaching Hospital, was procured under a Private Finance Initiative contract in 2003 to replace the Queen's Park Hospital and the Blackburn Royal Infirmary.[2] It was built by Balfour Beatty at a cost of £133 million and opened in July 2006.[3]
