Diana, Princess of Wales Hospital (previously Scartho Road Hospital) is a public hospital in Grimsby, Lincolnshire, England. It is managed by the Northern Lincolnshire and Goole Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. [1]
The hospital has its origins in a workhouse infirmary that opened in Scartho Road in October 1894. [2] This facility joined the National Health Service as Scartho Road Infirmary in 1948. [2] [3]
In the 1970s it was decided to build a modern facility on a site to the immediate south of the infirmary. [2] The hospital was officially opened by the Princess of Wales as the Grimsby District Hospital on 26 July 1983 and was renamed in her honour following her death in 1997. [4]
At the forefront of infection control, the Trust was a pioneer of the "clean your hands" campaign in 2003. [5] Subsequent developments included a new Family Services Unit opened in 2004, [6] a new cardiology unit opened in 2005, [7] a new breast care unit opened in 2007 [8] and the first phase of a new Accident and Emergency unit opened in August 2008. [9]
In 1985 the hospital was used for filming scenes of the film Clockwise. [10]
