History

The hospital has its origins in the Dental Department of the Sheffield Royal Hospital which was established in 1897.[1]

The facilities at the Dental Department became cramped and so Colonel Sir Charles Clifford,[2] who had commanded 126 Brigade Royal Field Artillery, donated land for a new purpose-built facility and funding for dental equipment in 1935.[3] The foundation stone was laid by Hilary Marquand, Minister of Health, in September 1951 and the facility was opened by the Duchess of Gloucester in 1953.[3][1]

A large extension was added in 1966.[4] In 1995, the hospital was absorbed into the Central Sheffield University Hospitals NHS Trust, which subsequently merged with the Northern General Hospital NHS Trust on 1 April 2001 to create the Sheffield Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust. The Trust was awarded Foundation status on 1 July 2004.[5]

A major refurbishment programme of the hospital was completed in 2009.[6] An inspection by the Care Quality Commission in December 2015 found that the overall performance was good with responsiveness rated as outstanding.[7]
