BirminghamAccidentHospital and Rehabilitation Centre was established in April 1941 in the existing buildings of the former Queen’s Hospital in Bath Row, Birmingham which had closed a couple of years earlier when the Queen Elizabeth opened. The Hospital was located fairly centrally in what is now B15 postcode, near to Five Ways. Birmingham Accident responded to the need to treat serious injuries more quickly and for a specialist rehabilitation centre in Birmingham with growing casualty numbers from the Second World War when the City was heavily bombed. The AccidentHospital was the last new VoluntaryHospital prior to the formation of the National Health Service in 1948.
