Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use British English Шаблон:Infobox hospital Ferryfield House is a community hospital in Pilton, Edinburgh, Scotland. It is managed by NHS Lothian.[1]

History

The hospital has its origins in the Leith Public Hospital which was designed by James Simpson and opened in 1896.[2] The facility was subsequently renamed the Northern General Hospital.[3]

A new hospital, which was commissioned to replace the Northern General Hospital, was procured under a Private Finance Initiative ('PFI') contract in 1993, the first hospital project in Scotland to use this form of procurement.[4] The site had previously been part of City Park, the first home of Livingston F.C.[2] The new hospital was built by James Walker (Leith) Limited[5] at a cost of £2 million[6] and opened in October 1996.[4]

Services

Ferryfield House is a 60-bed unit that specialises in short-term and respite care.[4] There are two wards, with one used to treat patients with "dementia and challenging behaviour" and the other for the frail and elderly.[7]
