BGH is a rehabilitation hospital for the elderly and stroke patients which opened in 1832. Initially when the hospital opened it only took patients from Bristol, and in 1850 taking people from outside Bristol. Today we treat patients from Bristol and North Somerset in the main.
We currently have 77 in-patient beds which are made up with a Stroke Rehabilitation Unit, one side for male and the other for female patients, together with Brunel Ward (male), Redcliffe (female) and Hare Ward (female). The Out patient facilities include clinics, physiotherapy services, and William Lloyd Unit which provides a day assessment service for elderly people. There is also a Sleep Unit clinic and sleep studies department serving a wider population in the South West.
