History

The hospital in 1908, a few years after opening

The facility was established as the Stepping Hill Poor Law Hospital in 1905.[1][2] It became a military hospital during the First World War[3] and joined the National Health Service (NHS) as the Stepping Hill Municipal Hospital in 1948.[1]

In a poisoning incident which began in 2011, three patients were found to have been unlawfully killed at the hospital.[4] The United Kingdom's first prostate cancer operation using a hand-held robot was undertaken at the hospital in 2012.[5]

The Duchess of Gloucester officially opened a new medical and surgical centre built at a cost of £20 million in 2017.[6]
