The new Royal Manchester Children's Hospital opened on Thursday 11th June. It has been designed so that all departments are close to the equipment and support that they need. This means patients and staff won't have to travel far within the hospital. With 371 beds it is the largest single-site children's hospital in the UK.
History Of Royal Manchester Children~s Hospital
** Our History **
Greater Manchester and the North West has long-since been renowned for its commitment and high standard of medical care for children. As the new Royal Manchester Children's Hospital (RMCH) opens, it is time to say a fond farewell to Booth Hall Hospital, and the old RMCH at Pendlebury. Both hospitals have fascinating and inspiring stories, and have played a fundamental role in healthcare in Manchester during the last two centuries.
** Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, Pendlebury **
The hospital at Pendlebury was the first in the UK to treat only children when it opened in 1829. It began as a small dispensary at 25 Back King Street in Central Manchester, and from the time of its inception to the mid 20th century, its size grew ten-fold. By 1852, the Hospital was receiving so many patients, it was necessary to amass donations to move to a larger building, enabling the Royal at Pendlebury to care for at least 7,000 patients a year.
In the first century after opening, the hospital at Pendlebury treated in excess of 80,000 patients. Locating the dispensary onsite allowed hospital staff to give patients quick access to the medical care they needed, and prevented the onset of disease by distributing information on hygiene and health.
Through its commitment to stalling the onset of disease, Pendlebury became recognised in 1924 as the leading institute for nursing training- trainee nurses all had to gain certification attained only by being taught at the facility at Pendlebury.
The hospital continued to thrive after the birth of the NHS, expanding to host over 250 beds, adding teaching units and theatres to the building. The Hospital has maintained its commitment to caring for the local and wider community, and it is this ethos which will drive the new Royal Manchester Children's Hospital development on Oxford Road.
