The original hospital on the site was the Derby City General Hospital, which was built in 1927 [2] and latterly focused on maternity and children's care. [3] The hospital, which had become quite dilapidated, was demolished in September 2006. [4]

A new hospital was procured under a Private Finance Initiative contract to replace both the Derby City General Hospital and the Derbyshire Royal Infirmary in 2003. The new hospital was built by Skanska at a cost of £333 million. [5] It was opened by the Queen and the Duke of Edinburgh in April 2010. [6]

Facilities

The new hospital has 1,159 acute beds and 35 operating theatres. [5] It provides 200 single en-suite rooms and 4-bed bays for patients on its wards. [6] Derbyshire Children's Hospital is co-located on the Royal Derby Hospital site. [7] The hospital is a major teaching centre for the University of Nottingham medical school including the graduate entry medical school (which is based at the Royal Derby Hospital site). [8]
