Bassetlaw District General Hospital is a National Health Service hospital in Worksop, Nottinghamshire. It is managed by the Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
History
[edit]The hospital has its origins in the Kilton Hill Infirmary, which was designed by Herbert Scalping and built by JH Vickers and which served as the local Poor Law Infirmary.[1] It was opened by the local chairman of the poor law guardians in January 1902.[2] The hospital administration block was extended in 1929 and pre-fabricated hut-style wards were added in 1939 in order to increase capacity.[3] The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948.[2]
The hospital was completely rebuilt between 1982 and 1987 with the new facilities being officially opened by the Princess of Wales in September 1987.[4] Following the demolition of the pre-fabricated hut-style wards in the early 1990s, a new coronary care unit and a new rehabilitation ward were completed in 1994 and a new CT scanner and breast cancer screening equipment arrived in 1997.[3]
Services
[edit]Following an inspection in January 2018 the Care Quality Commission reported that the hospital "needs improvement".[5]
