Brighton General Hospital is an acute general hospital on Elm Grove in Brighton, East Sussex. It is managed by Sussex Community NHS Trust. The main Arundel building is Grade II listed.[1]
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]
