TheRoyal Hallamshire Hospital is a general andteaching hospital located inSheffield,South Yorkshire, England. It is in the city'sWest End, facing Glossop Road and close to the main campus ofUniversity of Sheffield and the Collegiate Crescent campus ofSheffield Hallam University. The hospital is run by theSheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.
The hospital, which replaced both theSheffield Royal Hospital and theSheffield Royal Infirmary, was designed by Adams, Holden and Pearson and built in two phases; the first phase, a three-storey out-patients department was completed in 1971.[1] The second phase, the main building, was opened by thePrince of Wales in 1978.[2][3] The main building was designed as three main interlinked buildings, the most significant being the monolithic 21-storeyconcretestructure, which remains thethird highest in Sheffield afterSt Paul's Tower and theArts Tower.[4] It was designed with the rear part of the building overhanging a service road.[5]
Operation of the hospital was transferred from the Sheffield Health Authority (dissolved on 1 April 1992) to the newly created Central Sheffield University Hospitals NHS Trust on 1 November 1991. On 1 April 2001, the Central Sheffield University Hospitals NHS Trust merged with the Northern General Hospital NHS Trust to create the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, which was later awardedFoundation status on 1 July 2004.[6]
TheJessop Wing, which replaced theJessop Hospital for Women as a provider of maternity and gynecology services, was designed by the George Trew Dunn Partnership[1] and opened by theEarl of Scarbrough,Lord Lieutenant of South Yorkshire in 2001.[7]
Most non-emergency departments are represented in the hospital, although accident and emergency cases are handled by theNorthern General Hospital, on the north side of the city.[8] It has 14 operating theatres[9] and it provides training for bothSheffield Hallam University[10] and theUniversity of Sheffield.[11] It contains one of the United Kingdom's largest departments of infectious diseases and tropical medicine, which includes one of the country's HCID (High Consequence Infectious Diseases) units for looking afterebola cases and other very serious infectious illnesses.[12]
