The Victoria infirmary was a teaching hospital situated at Langside/Battlefield in the south-east of Glasgow from 1880 until 2015. It was managed by NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde.

History

A competition was held to design a 120-bedded hospital and this attracted 46 entries from architects around the UK.^[1] Campbell Douglas & Sellars won the competition to design the new voluntary hospital for the city's South Side in 1882.^[2] Building work began in 1888 and the infirmary was officially opened on 14 February 1890.^[2] The original buildings consisted of a central administration block, a lodge and one pavilion.^[1] A nurses' home was added in the 1890s and additional pavilions were added in 1902, to a design by Harry Edward Clifford, and in 1906.^[1]

The Victoria Infirmary obtained General Nursing Council approval for providing a 4 year nurse training course in 1918.^[3] Nurses who completed their training after 1923 were presented with the Victoria Infirmary solid silver badge with the puma emblem on it.^[4]

A new wing added an additional 120 beds to the hospital in 1927,^[5] another block provided a further 30 beds in 1931 and a further extension provided a further 50 beds in 1935.^[6] By 1939 the hospital had 555 beds.^[7]

Implementation of a development plan brought new laboratories, a theatre suite and teaching facilities in 1967.^[8]

After all inpatient and accident and emergency services had been transferred to the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital, the Glasgow Victoria Infirmary closed in May 2015.^[9] Housing provider Sanctuary Group then took over the 9.5-acre site in August 2016.^[2]

New Victoria Hospital

The New Victoria Hospital opened as an ambulatory care facility on a site opposite the old hospital in June 2009, and it is where all outpatient services that were previously housed at the old Victoria are now located.^[10]
