History
The hospital has its origins in a workhouse infirmary that opened in Scartho Road in October 1894.[2] This facility joined the National Health Service as Scartho Road Infirmary in 1948.[2][3]
In the 1970s it was decided to build a modern facility on a site to the immediate south of the infirmary.[2] The hospital was officially opened by the Princess of Wales as the Grimsby District Hospital on 26 July 1983 and was renamed in her honour following her death in 1997.[4]
At the forefront of infection control, the Trust was a pioneer of the "clean your hands" campaign in 2003.[5] Subsequent developments included a new Family Services Unit opened in 2004,[6] a new cardiology unit opened in 2005,[7] a new breast care unit opened in 2007[8] and the first phase of a new Accident and Emergency unit opened in August 2008.[9]
