In a poisoning incident which began in 2011, three patients were found to have been unlawfully killed at the hospital.[4] The United Kingdom's first prostate cancer operation using a hand-held robot was undertaken at the hospital in 2012.[5]
The Duchess of Gloucester officially opened a new medical and surgical centre built at a cost of £20 million in 2017.[6]
