History

The hospital has its origins in the Barnsley Union Workhouse Infirmary which opened in 1852. [1] It was expanded in 1875 and a new purpose-built infirmary, designed with a pavilion layout, was completed in 1883. [1] It became Barnsley Municipal Hospital in 1930 but was renamed St Helen Hospital in 1935, [2] before joining the National Health Service in 1948. [2]

A major redevelopment of the site to create Barnsley District General Hospital was completed in 1977. [2] The facility became known as Barnsley Hospital in 2005. [2]

In 2021 an extension to the emergency department was opened which brings together the hospital’s previous paediatric units into a single location. [3]
