History
The hospital has its origins in the Sheriff Hill Isolation Hospital opened in 1880.[1] After the Second World War the hospital was substantially extended with the new buildings being officially opened by the Queen Mother on 18 March 1948.[2][3] An out-patients department, an accident and emergency department, a new operating theatre and a medical records department were added in 1967.[3]
A new Pathology "Centre for Excellence" for patients from Gateshead, Sunderland & South Tyneside and funded from a £12m grant from the government, opened in early 2014.[4] A new £32 million Emergency Care Centre opened in February 2015.[5]
