00:00City Hospital in Birmingham, located on Dudley Road, has officially closed its doors after
00:06more than a century of service, first opening as an infirmary in 1897. Final steps were
00:12taken to transfer all emergency and acute services to the new Midland Metropolitan University
00:18Hospital in Smethwick, with 320 patients safely relocated as part of the move.
00:25This transition is a significant moment marking the end of a lung era, however City Hospital
00:30will still play a vital role in healthcare as it becomes the City Health Campus, focusing
00:36on outpatient treatments and short-stay surgeries while continuing some specialised services.
00:43With emergency care now centralised at Midland Met, residents will need to use this new facility
00:48for IND needs, but City Health Campus will offer essential community health services
00:53on the former site of City Hospital, maintaining its legacy of care in a new capacity.
