Kirklandside was a community hospital in the village of Hurlford a few miles out of Kilmarnock, Scotland. It was managed by NHS Ayrshire and Arran.
History
[edit]The hospital was designed by James Scott Hay as an infectious diseases hospital and opened in 1910.[1] The original lay-out consisted of seven blocks set on a 22-acre (9-hectare) site.[2] When the hospital joined the National Health Service in 1948, it had 51 beds and was still classified as being for the care of infectious diseases.[3] Closure was announced in 2018[4] and the buildings were demolished by early 2021.[5]
Services
[edit]The hospital provided consultant-led services for frail elderly patients. It had 25 long-stay beds for inpatient care and a day hospital which provided assessment and rehabilitation facilities.[6]
