History

The former hospital buildings Finchley Memorial Hospital - geograph.org.uk - 119298.jpg
The former hospital buildings

The hospital was originally established as the Finchley Cottage Hospital and opened with 20 beds on 28 May 1908. [1] An extension financed by public subscription which would form a lasting memorial for the Finchley dead of the First World War was opened by General Sir Ian Hamilton in 1922. [1] The facility was renamed the Finchley Memorial Hospital that year. [1]

A casualty department opened in 1926 and a two-storey accommodation block for nurses opened in 1933. [1] A geriatric day facility was opened by Margaret Thatcher, the local MP, in January 1987. [1]

A new three-storey hospital building replacing the original was procured under a Private Finance Initiative contract in 2010. [2] It was built by Galliford Try at a cost of £28 million and was opened by the Duke of Gloucester in September 2013. [3]

Facilities

The hospital does not include an accident and emergency department, but it does offer a walk-in centre for minor injuries that do not present an immediate threat to life. [4]
