Warwick Hospital on Lakin Road in the northwest of Warwick, Warwickshire, England is run by South Warwickshire University NHS Foundation Trust.^[1]

History

The facility has its origins in the infirmary built for the Warwick Union Poorhouse in Union Road (now Lakin Road) in 1848.^[2] The infirmary was extended in 1857 and 1876 with a chapel and mortuary following in 1883.^[2] A new purpose-built hospital was completed in 1903 and the old workhouse, which became known as the Warwick Public Assistance Institution, was integrated into the new hospital after 1930.^[2] The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948 and the Public Assistance Institution ceased to operate as a separate body from 1949.^[3]

The main maternity unit for the district was moved from Warneford Hospital in Leamington Spa to Warwick in 1993.^[4] A new cancer centre known as the Aylesford Unit opened in a dedicated building in February 2010.^[5] The hospital also started work on a new birthing centre in 2018.^[6]
