The Victoria Integrated Care Centre is a health facility in Helensburgh, Scotland. [1] It is managed by NHS Highland. [1]

Contents

History

The facility has its origins in the Helensburgh Hospital which was financed by a legacy from Anne Alexander and which opened as a hospital for both infectious and non-infectious diseases in 1876. [2] [3] A new hospital, designed by William Leiper and intended to deal purely with non-infectious cases, opened on a near-by site in September 1895. [2] It became the Victoria Infirmary to commemorate Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee in 1897. [2] The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948 and an extension providing new physiotherapy, X-ray and out-patient facilities opened in 1951. [2]

The Jeanie Deans Unit, which was built to the south of the infirmary building, received a visit by the Princess Royal in 1998. [3] [4] It was redeveloped as a modern integrated care centre in 2009. [5] [6]

Services

The site comprises the Victoria Infirmary Building, the Jeanie Deans Centre, the Community Base and the Out-Patient Department. [7] The Victoria Infirmary Building is now little used. [8] The Jeanie Deans Centre now provides a base for outreach Mental Health Services including consultants/CPNs and clinical psychology. In addition, there are out-patient facilities for Chiropody. The former nurses' home has been converted into a base for community staff working within the area including nurse, community paediatric and administrative staff. The Out-Patient Department provides facilities for a number of visiting consultants together with X-ray, physiotherapy and dental departments. [1]
