City Health Campus

City Hospital A&E (also known as the Emergency Department) closed on 10 November. Patients should use Midland Metropolitan University Hospital A&E.

City Health Campus has three key facilities, covering a range of outpatient, day case surgery and diagnostic services.

To deliver better care, we will be closing some sections of the hospital and only keeping the best of the existing buildings.
