Queen Elizabeth II Hospital
The Queen Elizabeth II hospital – or the QEII as it is known locally, is located in Welwyn Garden City and managed by East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust.History
The facility, which replaced the Welwyn Garden City Cottage Hospital in Church Road, was opened by the Queen in July 1963. All inpatient and emergency services were transferred to the Lister Hospital at Stevenage in October 2014.
The Trust decided to commission modern facilities, known as the "New QEII Hospital," at a cost of £30 million. The new hospital was officially opened by Alistair Burt, the Minister for Community and Social Care at the time, and Simon Stevens, the Chief Executive of NHS England on 6 November 2015.
The old hospital was demolished and that part of the site was subsequently developed by Bellway in 2017.Services
The new facility continues to provide GP services, outpatient clinics, diagnostic, a breast unit and antenatal and postnatal care, as well as a 24/7 urgent care centre.
