Hospital services in Bassetlaw began with the opening of the 5-bed Victoria Hospital, Worksop, in 1900, staffed by a house surgeon, two honorary surgeons, a matron and three probationer nurses. There were 59 patients and during the first year, the income was £487 12s 6d, and the expenditure £505 4s 3d. Thirty years later, 812 patients were treated, the income was £7326 and expenditure £6751. A (penny in the pound) worker's contributory scheme raised £4300 while the 'Gloops Club' donated a cot to the Children's wing. It became part of the NHS in 1948 and apart from a new orthopaedic ward in the 1970s it was virtually unchanged until it was demolished in 1996.


The hospital was completely rebuilt between 1982 and 1987 with the new facilities being officially opened by the [[Diana, Princess of Wales|Princess of Wales]] in September 1987.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/998feeec-1519-43f8-8052-a85612754f99|title=Bassetlaw District General Hospital, Worksop: visit of HRH the Princess of Wales, 3 September 1987|publisher=National Archives|accessdate=28 November 2018}}</ref> 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 scan]]ner and [[breast cancer screening]] equipment arrived in 1997.<ref name=mile/>
The foundation stone for Kilton Hospital was laid in 1902; it was known as Worksop's Poor Law Infirmary and cost £18,300 to build. Major parts of this building still exists and is now used as an administration block and the Postgraduate Centre and Library. During the first World War a group of temporary buildings were built further up the hill to accommodate war wounded, they were still in use in the 1980s. Some of the windows in the old part of Kilton Hospital (which became the paediatric ward in the late 1970s) had graffiti scratched on the glass with initials and dates from injured soldiers. They may be still there in what is now the postgraduate centre (confirmation needed)


==Services==
The first phase of the new Bassetlaw Hospital was begun on the same site in 1982. Work was completed in 1987 and Casualty and inpatient facilities at Retford Hospital were transferred to the new site in 1988. Not long after the services from the Victoria Hospital in the centre of Worksop were transferred to Bassetlaw Hospital. During the transition in the early 1980s A&E was at the Victoria with Surgery and Orthopaedics and the pathology laboratories, all other services were at Kilton.
Following an inspection in January 2018 the [[Care Quality Commission]] reported that the hospital "needs improvement".<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/RP5BA|title=Bassetlaw District General Hospital|publisher=Care Quality Commission|accessdate=28 November 2018}}</ref>
