Queen Victoria Hospital
The Queen Victoria Hospital, located in East Grinstead, West Sussex, England is the specialist reconstructive surgery centre for the south east of England, and also provides services at clinics across the region. It has become world famous for its pioneering burns and plastic surgery. The hospital was named after Queen Victoria. The Princess Royal is the current patron of the hospital.
It also provides a wide range of routine services in its areas of expertise for local people and runs a Minor Injuries Unit. In July 2012, the hospital produced a short film about its services: (Queen Victoria Hospital Short Film 2012 ).
==History==
Founded as a cottage hospital in 1863, Queen Victoria Hospital was built on its current site in the 1930s and developed as a specialist burns unit by Sir Archibald McIndoe during World War II, when it became world famous for pioneering treatment of RAF and allied aircrew who were badly burned or crushed and required reconstructive plastic surgery. Most famously, it was where the Guinea Pig Club was formed in 1941, as a club which then became a support network for the aircrew and their family members. The club still provides assistance for Guinea Pigs, and meets regularly in East Grinstead. The Duke of Edinburgh is the current President of the club. Queen Victoria Hospital remains at the forefront of specialist care today, and is renowned for its burns treatment facilities and expertise throughout England.
In recent years a major programme of site developments has been underway to replace the aging estate. In 2012, a new outpatients department opened, along with refurbished burns and paediatric units. Work is underway to replace all nine of the hospital’s old operating theatres with ten new theatres.
