The Princess Anne Hospital is a maternity hospital in Southampton, England, to the north of Southampton General Hospital. It is operated by the University Hospital Southampton NHS Foundation Trust.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]The hospital was commissioned by the National Health Service to serve as a dedicated maternity hospital in the 1970s. The site selected was open land on the north side of Coxford Road, opposite Southampton General Hospital.[2] The new hospital was designed in the modern style, built in brick and glass and was opened by Princess Anne on 28 March 1981.[3][4] During the 1980s, c. 5,000 babies were being born there every year.[5]
The hospital was the location for the first two series of Channel 4's One Born Every Minute broadcast in 2010 and 2011.[6] A digital breast screening unit was established at the hospital in September 2013.[7] In April 2019, the hospital was ranked by the US magazine, Newsweek, as one of the best 129 specialist care centres in the world.[8][9]
Princess Anne, who is Patron of the Royal College of Midwives, returned to the hospital for a visit and spoke to patients in February 2023.[10][11]
