The Kingston Hospital Estate
The hospital has its origins in a workhouse infirmary built in 1843. A larger infirmary was built to the southwest of the workhouse in 1868 and a nurs - es' home was built to the north of the workhouse in 1897. The infirmary was separated from the workhouse and was re - named the Kingston Infirmary in 1902. It became the Kingston and District Hospital in 1920 and the hospital joined the Nation - al Health Service in 1948 and began to redevelop the site the following year. There was significant expansion in the 1960s, with a new outpatients department, a new medical centre and the Kenley Ward being opened in that decade. Further expansion happened in the 1990s with the opening of the Bernard Meade Wing and Rowan Bentall Wing. From the early 2000s there have been several develop -
ments including a new surgical centre (PFI) and cancer centre in partnership with Royal Mars - den. In 2023 a new Master - plan was developed that will see the reconfiguration of the estate to meet current and fu - ture healthcare needs. Several crucial projects planned include redevelopment and new build - ings and facilities to house a di - verse range of clinical facilities, public realm and car parking. Currently, our estate opera - tion activities (heating, lighting, power etc.) cause the emission of around 10,000 tonnes of car - bon dioxide per year. By 2032 we aim to have reduced all the emissions within our control by 80% to align with the NHS’s national target; we plan to have transformed the way we heat and power our buildings to en - able low carbon generation as well as efficient use of energy across our building operations.
