History

The foundation stone for the cottage hospital was laid by the Duke of Devonshire in June 1911.[1] He returned to open the facility as Buxton Cottage Hospital in 1912.[1][2] It became Buxton and District Hospital in 1930 and then joined the National Health Service as Buxton Hospital in 1948.[2] The hospital has a minor injuries unit which cut back its opening hours due to staff shortages in April 2011 but then reverted to normal hours in August 2011.[3]
