Health Hospitals and clinics Children 20th century 19th century Scotland Royal Hospital for Sick Children (Glasgow)

First proposed in 1861, it took over twenty years for Glasgow's Hospital for Sick Children to finally receive its first patients. The hospital admitted children from across Scotland, but especially from west and the Hebrides. An outpatient Dispensary in Garnethill, and a Country Branch in then-rural Drumchapel, followed. In 1914, at the outbreak of the Great War, it moved to Yorkhill where some wards were immediately requisitioned for the treatment of wounded army officers. In 1965, just after the Queen Mother's had opened at Yorkhill as a new maternity hospital, the children's hospital was evacuated when severe structural faults were discovered. A new Royal Hospital for Sick Children opened in 1970. This book is a social history which not only traces changes in the practices of clinicians, nurses and professional carers, but reflects the experiences of children and parents in their historical context.
