History

The hospital has its origins in the Bradford Public Dispensary founded in 1825. [1] It opened at Darley Street in 1827 and moved to Westgate as the Bradford Infirmary in 1843. [2] In December 1882 the infirmary staff responded to the Newlands Mill chimney collapse which resulted in the loss of 54 lives, mostly young girls and boys. [3] [4] The facility became the Bradford Royal Infirmary in 1897 in commemoration of Queen Victoria’s Diamond Jubilee [2]

The foundation stone for the current facility in Duckworth Lane was laid by the Duke and Duchess of York in 1928 and the facility opened in 1936. [2] It joined the National Health Service in 1948. [2] The hospital was noted for being a pioneer in the field of chemotherapy under Professor Robert Turner and George Whyte-Watson in the 1950s. [5] [6]

Services
