Bassetlaw District General Hospital

Bassetlaw District General Hospital is a National Health Service hospital in Worksop, Nottinghamshire. It is managed by the Doncaster and Bassetlaw Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

1. History

The hospital has its origins in the Kilton Hill Infirmary, which was designed by Herbert Scalping and built by JH Vickers and which served as the local Poor Law Infirmary. It was opened by the local chairman of the poor law guardians in January 1902. The hospital administration block was extended in 1929 and pre-fabricated hut-style wards were added in 1939 in order to increase capacity. The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948. The hospital was completely rebuilt between 1982 and 1987 with the new facilities being officially opened by the Princess of Wales in September 1987. 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 scanner and breast cancer screening equipment arrived in 1997.

1. Services

Following an inspection in January 2018 the Care Quality Commission reported that the hospital "needs improvement".

Historic Site Landmark

Kilton, Nottinghamshire

Kilton is a large suburban area in the northeast of the market town of Worksop in the ceremonial county of Nottinghamshire in the East Midlands of England. It consists of a series of large post-World War II housing developments, some of which are council estates. The suburb was, since the late nineteenth century, home to Kilton Hospital, which was, along with Victoria Hospital, located on Memorial Avenue in Worksop, one of the town's main hospitals. The hospital existed until the late 1980s, at a time when it chiefly dealt with maternity. Today the surviving main building, with its yellow brick facade, and stag frieze in its pediment, has been incorporated into Bassetlaw District General Hospital, which is located just behind it, and now used as the administration block.
