Falkirk Community Hospital is a community hospital in Falkirk, Scotland. It is managed by NHS Forth Valley.

History

The hospital has its origins in a cottage hospital completed in 1882.[1] A new hospital designed by William John Smith Gibson was built and opened by Prince George, Duke of Kent as the Falkirk Royal Infirmary in 1932.[1] Emergency medical scheme huts were built on the site during the Second World War.[1] Additions included the Falkirk Ward completed in 1966 and the Windsor Unit completed in the late 1980s.[1] After many of the services were transferred to the Forth Valley Royal Hospital, the Falkirk Royal Infirmary was downgraded to the status of community hospital in 2010.[2] The minor injury unit, which treated emergency cases of a non life-threatening nature, closed in July 2011.[3]
