History

Newport and Monmouthshire Hospital new buildings in 1905

The hospital has its origins in the Newport Dispensary which was founded in Llanarth Street in 1839[1] and received its first-in-patients as the Newport Dispensary and Infirmary in 1867.[2]

It moved to a site in Cardiff Road donated by Viscount Tredegar in the early 20th century: it was officially opened there by Viscount Tredegar as the Newport and Monmouthshire Hospital in August 1901.[3] It changed its name to the Royal Gwent Hospital in 1913.[4]

The hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948: it was then completely reconstructed to create modern facilities in the early 1960s.[5]

During the COVID-19 pandemic, it was reported that around half of A&E medical staff had tested positive for coronavirus.[6]
