Lincoln County Hospital
Lincoln County Hospital is a large district general hospital on the eastern edge of north-east Lincoln, England. It is the largest hospital in Lincolnshire, and offers the most comprehensive services in Lincolnshire. It is managed by the United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust.
The hospital has its origins in some rented accommodation in St Swithin's which opened in November 1769. A purpose-built facility was designed by John Carr and William Lumby and built in Drury Lane between 1776 and 1777.
Following issues with the nursing care, the Ladies' Nursing Fund Committee was established in 1864 to provide a better quality of nursing staff to the hospital. This arrangement only lasted for three years, but the Bromhead Institution for Nurses and the Bromhead Nursing Home became well established in Lincoln.
A new site was identified on Sewell Road and purchased in 1875. A new building, designed by Alexander Graham, was built on the new site and completed in 1878. The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948.
Charles Pelham, 4th Earl of Yarborough opened a new X-ray department on Friday 7 April 1922.
In the late 1930s £100,000 of buildings were added in two stages. The first stage cost £57,000, completed by April 1939.
Construction work, undertaken by Shepherd Building Group on a maternity unit commenced on site on 2 May 1966. It involved 112 beds, including 78 consultant beds, 26 general practitioner beds, and eight private patients beds. There was also a delivery suite. The unit had a special care unit with 21 cots on the sixth floor, and ante-natal clinic, and midwifery training school on the ground floor. The total cost was £800,000. The seven-storey maternity unit was opened by Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon on 4 December 1968, who later visited Scunthorpe.
Construction of phase one of the main hospital, undertaken by Shepherd Building Group, began at the end of July 1981. There were two main buildings, with 112 beds. Phase one cost £16.7m and involved four new operating theatres. Some 150 more staff were needed, with one hundred more nurses. At the time, it was difficult to find enough experienced theatre staff. It opened to the public in April 1985, after ward staff and theatre staff moved from St George's Hospital. Phase one was officially opened on the morning of 23 July 1985 by Diana, Princess of Wales. Diana had arrived at RAF Scampton in a Hawker Siddeley Andover, with two thousand people lining the route from Scampton. Diana later visited North Hykeham in the afternoon.
