History

The hospital has its origins in the Solihull Union Workhouse Infirmary which was completed in 1898. [1] The hospital joined the National Health Service as Solihull Hospital in 1948. [2]

A new purpose-built hospital was built at a cost of £38 million in the early 1990s and the new facilities were officially opened in June 1994. [3] A new dermatology unit was opened in December 2015 [4] and a new haematology and oncology day unit was opened in May 2018. [5] [6]

In December 2021 the NHS decided to set up Nightingale Surge Hubs around the country in response to the Covid-19 Omicron varient. [7] One of the temporary hubs was on the staff car park at Solihull Hospital with a capacity of approximately 100 beds. [8] The surge hub was decommissioned without treating a single patient. [9]

The construction of the Solihull Elective Surgery Hub consisting of six theatres (three ultra-clean and three robotic) started in early 2023 and built in modular format. [10] One of the first patients to be treated in the new theatres was in November 2024. The new theatre hub cost £46m. [11]
