History
editThe hospital has its origins in a dispensary established in a small house in St. Mary's Gate in 1854.[1][2] The foundation stone for a new purpose-built facility was laid by the Marquis of Hartington on the site of Durrant Hall in 1859.[1] The new hospital was officially opened in 1860: this facility became the Chesterfield Royal Hospital in 1918 and a nurses' home was added in 1919 before it joined the National Health Service in 1948.[2]
A new modern hospital at Calow opened to patients on 29 April 1984.[3] It was officially opened by the Queen in 1985 and was extended to include a maternity and gynaecology unit in 1989.[4]
The National Gardens Scheme Macmillan Unit opened in November 2018. The two-storey building has 21 chemotherapy treatment chairs, two treatment beds, and three treatment rooms. It was built by Vinci Construction.[5]
