Finchley Memorial Hospital is a National Health Service community hospital in Granville Road, North Finchley, London. Hospital services are provided by Royal Free London NHS Foundation Trust.
History
[edit]
The hospital was originally established as the Finchley Cottage Hospital and opened with 20 beds on 28 May 1908.[1] An extension financed by public subscription which would form a lasting memorial for the Finchley dead of the First World War was opened by General Sir Ian Hamilton in 1922.[1] The facility was renamed the Finchley Memorial Hospital that year.[1]
A casualty department opened in 1926 and a two-storey accommodation block for nurses opened in 1933.[1] A geriatric day facility was opened by Margaret Thatcher, the local MP, in January 1987.[1]
A new three-storey hospital building replacing the original was procured under a Private Finance Initiative contract in 2010.[2] It was built by Galliford Try at a cost of £28 million and was opened by the Duke of Gloucester in September 2013.[3]
Facilities
[edit]The hospital does not include an accident and emergency department, but it does offer a walk-in centre for minor injuries that do not present an immediate threat to life.[4]
