Drumchapel Hospital was a health facility in Drumchapel Road, Glasgow, Scotland. It was managed by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.

History

The facility was established, following a donation by Miss Margaret Montgomery Paterson, as a Country Branch of the Royal Hospital for Sick Children. [1] It was designed by Robert Bryden and opened in June 1903. [1] It was extended in 1921 and 1930 and, after joining the National Health Service in 1948, a new 120‑bed geriatric unit was added to it in 1968. [2] The original building housing the children's unit was demolished in the 1980s and the hospital subsequently focused entirely on geriatric work. [3] The geriatric facility itself closed in August 2016 and was subsequently demolished. [4]
