North Tyneside General Hospital, sometimes referred to as the Rake Lane Hospital, is a district general hospital located on Rake Lane in North Shields, Tyne and Wear. It is managed by Northumbria Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust.

History[edit]

The hospital, which replaced several other local hospitals, was built between 1984 and 1985 and was officially opened by Princess Alexandra in May 1985.[1] In May 2018 it was announced that the urgent care centre at the hospital would no longer be available but instead the hospital would offer a GP-led healthcare service.[2]
