Sunderland Royal Hospital is an acute general hospital in Sunderland, Tyne and Wear. It is managed by the South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust.
History[]
The hospital has its origins in the Sunderland Union Workhouse Infirmary which was completed on a site to the south of Hylton Road in 1855.[1] A new enlarged infirmary was built on the west of the workhouse in the early 20th century.[1] The combined workhouse and infirmary facility became the Highfield Institute and Municipal Hospital in 1930 and it joined the National Health Service as Sunderland General Hospital in 1948.[2] It was renamed Sunderland Royal Hospital in 1996.[1]
Services[]
Sunderland and South Tyneside clinical commissioning groups decided in February 2018 to centralise hospital based stroke, maternity, gynaecology and paediatric services at Sunderland Royal Hospital.[3]
