Gartnavel General Hospital
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gartnavel General Hospital is a general hospital in the west end of Glasgow, Scotland. The hospital was opened in December 1972 beside the existing Gartnavel Royal Hospital,[1] to house units from the Western Infirmary that were relocating while the hospital buildings were being demolished and replaced.[2]
Originally a single eight story block containing 576 beds standing on a three story podium[3], further buildings have since been added, with the most recent being a new cancer care centre[4] to replace the current Beatson Oncology Centre facilities that are currently spread between Gartnavel, the Western Infirmary and the Royal Infirmary[5].
