History

The hospital originated with the acquisition of the Whinney House Estate in 1912. [1] The facility, which was originally designed by Newcombe and Newcombe as a tuberculosis hospital, opened in 1912. [1] It became a mental health facility known as the Shotley Bridge Mental Defectives Colony in 1927. [2] It served as the Shotley Bridge Emergency Hospital during the Second World War specialising in plastic surgery, [3] [4] before joining the National Health Service as Shotley Bridge General Hospital in 1948. [2] Although it was once one of the largest hospitals in the Northern Region, [1] most primary care and acute services were transferred to the new University Hospital of North Durham in 2001. After this, most of the earlier buildings were demolished and it became a community hospital. [1] In April 2019 the trust announced a consultation on the possible transfer of clinical services to a smaller medical centre. [5]
