The Royal United Hospital (RUH) is a major acute-care hospital, located in the Weston suburb of Bath, England, which lies approximately miles west of the Bath city centre. The hospital currently has 565 beds and occupies a site. It is the area's major accident and emergency hospital, with a helicopter landing point on the adjacent Lansdown Cricket Club field. The hospital is operated by the Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust. ==History== The Royal United Hospital takes its name from the union of the ''Bath Casualty Hospital'' founded in 1788 and the ''Bath City Dispensary and Infirmary'' founded in 1792. The Casualty Hospital was founded in response to the serious injuries sustained to labourers working on the buildings which were being constructed in the city. The Dispensary and Infirmary developed from the ''Bath Pauper Scheme'', a charity founded in 1747 to provide medical treatment for destitute persons in Bath. The combined institution opened as the ''Bath United Hospital'' in 1826 in Beau Street in a building designed by John Pinch the elder. It was awarded the title ''Royal'' by Queen Victoria in 1864 when a new wing, named the Albert Wing after the recently deceased Prince Consort, opened. This building was later occupied by Bath Technical College. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Royal United Hospital」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
