Background
History
The hospital has its origins in the Monkwearmouth and Southwick Dispensary which was established on Roker Road in July 1873 through the efforts of the Reverend Canon Miles, the local parish vicar, and financial support from Samuel Tyzack, a local businessman. Two additional wards were added in February 1896. The foundation stone for a new hospital in Newcastle Road was laid by the Prince of Wales on 2 July 1930. The new hospital in Newcastle Road was opened in July 1932, and it joined the National Health Service as the Sunderland Orthopaedic and Accident Hospital in 1948.
