The Royal South Hants Hospital, known locally as "The RSH", is a community hospital in Southampton. It has been managed by Southampton City Primary Care Trust since 31 March 2007 with some additional services being provided by the Hampshire Partnership NHS Trust. It was previously managed by Southampton University Hospitals NHS Trust. ==History== The hospital was founded as the Royal South Hampshire Infirmary in 1835,〔(Rossbret Institutions Website: Royal Hampshire Infirmary ) accessed 11 June 2006〕 and relocated several times before settling at its current location in the heart of the Nicholstown New Town area of Southampton. The foundation stone was laid on 10 July 1843,〔 and the hospital opened on its present site in 1844.〔 Previous locations; St Mary Street (1838–1844) & Fanshawe Street (1844?-c.1978) 〔(National Archives; Hospital Records Database )〕 In 1851, donations from doctors Joseph and William Bullar funded additional wards for the hospital, named the Bullar Wards.〔Southern Daily Echo, 2007-03-12, pages 8-9〕 The hospital obtained its current name in 1965, and was funded by public subscription as part of a wave of voluntary hospitals throughout the country.〔 The hospital chapel was built in 1857, and is now a grade II listed building.〔 In 1868 a new wing, named the ''Eyre Crabbe Wing'' and housing 36 beds, was erected.〔 The Crabbe wards are located on the East side of the hospital campus.〔 In 1896, another new wing, containing a further two wards, operating theatres, cottages to house patients with infectious diseases and a mortuary were added at a cost of £29 000.〔 This new wing was opened on 7 February 1900 by Princess Henry of Battenburg. With the formation of the National Health Service in 1948, the management of the RSH was transferred to the new public service.〔 In 1970, the Department of Psychiatry building, an inpatient psychiatric facility, was built along with residential accommodation for healthcare staff. This closed in 2010 and has been replaced by Antelope House.〔(Hover your mouse over where it says "Dept of Psychiatry" )〕 In the same year, the Outpatients Centre building was opened, modelled on the Mayo Clinic in the United States.〔 In 1971 the RSH housed 332 beds and treated 8000 inpatients and 173 000 outpatients.〔 The chapel fell out of use in 1992.〔 Management of the hospital came under Southampton University Hospitals NHS Trust when the trust was formed in 1993. 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 South Hants Hospital」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
