The Royal Oldham Hospital is a NHS hospital in the Coldhurst area of Oldham, Greater Manchester, England. It is managed by Pennine Acute Hospitals NHS Trust. The hospital has its own volunteer-run radio station, Radio Cavell, which broadcasts at 1350 AM.^[2]

History[]

The hospital has its origins in the workhouse infirmary established to support the Oldham Union Workhouse on the Rochdale Road in around 1870.^[3] It became the Boundary Park Hospital in the late 1920s and, after joining the National Health Service in 1948, it became Oldham and District General Hospital in 1955.^[4]

The hospital was the birthplace of Louise Brown, the world's first successful in vitro fertilised "test tube baby", on 25 July 1978.^[5]

In April 2018 the hospital joined the National Bereavement Care Pathway, which intends to ensure a common standard in bereavement care for parents.^[6]
