History

The facility has its origins in the Knighton Union Workhouse which was designed by Edward Jones and was completed in 1837. [1] It has hit by a bad gas explosion in 1907 and then served as a Red Cross Hospital during the First World War. [1] It became the Knighton Public Assistance Institution in 1930 and joined the National Health Service as Knighton Hospital in 1948. [1] Due to staff shortages, the number of beds reduced from thirteen to seven in 2014. [2] An old X-Ray room was converted into facilities for patients needing palliative care in 2017. [3]

A hospital is a healthcare institution providing patient treatment with specialized health science and auxiliary healthcare staff and medical equipment. The best-known type of hospital is the general hospital, which typically has an emergency department to treat urgent health problems ranging from fire and accident victims to a sudden illness. A district hospital typically is the major health care facility in its region, with many beds for intensive care and additional beds for patients who need long-term care. Specialized hospitals include trauma centers, rehabilitation hospitals, children's hospitals, seniors' (geriatric) hospitals, and hospitals for dealing with specific medical needs such as psychiatric treatment and certain disease categories. Specialized hospitals can help reduce health care costs compared to general hospitals. Hospitals are classified as general, specialty, or government depending on the sources of income received.
