St Albans City Hospital is an acute District General Hospital in St Albans, Hertfordshire operated by the West Hertfordshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. [1]
The hospital was established by St Albans Board of Guardians as a workhouse in 1838. [2] It became known as the St Albans Public Assistance Institution in 1930, Osterhills Hospital in 1948 and the St Albans City Hospital in the 1950s. [2] Two wards at the hospital closed in February 2017. [3]
An Integrated Urgent Care Hub runs on site and treats urgent but not life-threatening health conditions. It offers appointments between 9 am and 6 pm, seven days a week and provides access to diagnostic services such as x-rays. Patients are booked into the service, often with same day appointments, through NHS 111 or their GP practice. It is not a walk-in service. [4]
