Glenfield Hospital

Glenfield Hospital

Glenfield Hospital, or Glenfield General Hospital, is situated near Glenfield, on the outskirts of Leicester. It is one of England's main hospitals for coronary care, and the current extensions will also make it the largest maternity unit in Western Europe.

Glenfield Hospital is located at the junction of the A50 and the A563 (Leicester Ringroad). On the same site is Leicester Frith Hospital, Leicestershire Breastcare and the Bradgate Unit. Gorse Hill Ambulance Station (formerly Gorse Hill Hospital) is on the same site, accessed from Anstey Lane.

Glenfield was built as a replacement for the old Groby Road Hospital, which was located about 500m up the road at Heathley Park (now a housing estate). LOROS hospice is still on the Groby Road site. Glenfield comes under the University Hospitals Leicester NHS Trust. Other members are Leicester Royal Infirmary and Leicester General Hospital (Evington).

Glenfield also has intensive care (CITU and GITU), children's wards, renal care, operating theatres, and many other departments. However, it does not have an emergency room.
