History

The hospital has its origins in the Dover Union Workhouse Infirmary which was completed in 1836. [1] [2] This was replaced by a new infirmary in 1884 and a nurses' home was added in 1902. [1] It became the county hospital in 1943 and it joined the National Health Service as Buckland Hospital in 1948. [1] Funding for a purpose-built modern hospital on an adjacent site was approved in December 2012. [3] The new hospital, which incorporates a minor injury unit, was completed in June 2015. [4]

The site of the old hospital was bought by a developer for £1.5 million in December 2016. [5]
