History
The hospital has its origins in the Brighton Workhouse Infirmary which was designed by George Maynard and opened in September 1867.[2] It was extended to create additional wards and pavilions in the 1880s.[2] The building served as the Kitchener Indian Hospital during the First World War.[2] It became Brighton Municipal Hospital in 1930 and joined the National Health Service as Brighton General Hospital in 1948.[2][3]
Development
Services
The hospital offers a range of screening, diagnostic, treatment and rehabilitation services including paediatrics, elderly care, diabetic care, back care, audiology, physiotherapy, and specialist care for heart failure, MS and Parkinson's disease.[5] The trust says that despite its name, the site is no longer a hospital as it has various clinics but no overnight beds.[6]
