The Leicester Royal Infirmary (LRI) is a National Health Service hospital in Leicester, England. It is located to the south-west of the city centre. It has an accident and emergency department and is managed by of the University Hospitals of Leicester NHS Trust.
History
The hospital was founded by Reverend William Watts as the Leicester Infirmary with 40 beds in 1771.[1] Patients were forced to pay a deposit when they went in; if they went home, the money was repaid; if they died their deposit would be spent on burying them.[1] When first opened, there was no running water, but there was the nearby brewery, which was used to treat the patients.[1] By 1808, the hospital had expanded by 20 beds, holding then 60.[1] It became Leicester Infirmary and Children's Hospital in 1911 and Leicester Royal Infirmary and Children's Hospital in 1914.[2] It joined the National Health Service in 1948.[2]
The Windsor building was opened by the Queen in December 1993.[3] A new accident and emergency department was opened by the Princess Royal in March 2018.[4]
Dr Hadiza Bawa-Garba, a junior doctor at the Infirmary, was convicted of manslaughter for her part in the death of a 13-year old boy from sepsis in 2015. Although the General Medical Council subsequently ruled that she be struck off the medical register, the Court of Appeal decided in August 2015 that she should be re-instated.[5]
