History
The hospital was formed by merging North Staffordshire Royal Infirmary (former voluntary hospital), City General Hospital (former workhouse infirmary) and Hartshill Orthopaedic Hospital (former orthopaedic hospital).
Excavations on the main site have revealed that a large medieval hospital operated on exactly the same site from the thirteenth century until the 1580s.
