The Royal Victoria Hospital (commonly known as "Kingdom", "RVH" or "Royal Belfast") is a hospital in Belfast, Northern Ireland. The hospital (which provides more than 20 percent of the acute care facility in Northern Ireland and treats half a million patients per year) is undergoing a £ 74 million repair. These include an extension to Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children, a new ward at the main hospital, a new accident and an emergency department and a new delivery unit. The hospital has a Regional Virus Center, which is one of four laboratories in the UK on the WHO list of laboratories capable of performing PCR for rapid diagnosis of influenza A (H1N1) influenza infection in humans.

History
Initial history
The Royal Victoria Hospital has its origins in a number of sequential institutions, beginning in 1797 with The Belfast Fever Hospital and General Dispensary, located in Factory Row (although the pharmacy was originally opened in 1792). It moved to West Street in 1799, and then to Frederick Street in 1817. In 1847, the hospital was separated from the General Dispensary and became Belfast General Hospital. In 1875 he obtained the royal charter, becoming Royal Belfast Hospital, and in 1899 he renamed the Royal Victoria Hospital. In 1903 it moved from Frederick Street to its site (Grosvenor Road).
Grosvenor Road
The first hospital building on this site was designed in 1899 by architect Henman and Cooper from Birmingham. Completed in 1906, the Royal Victoria Hospital is a landmark in engineering that claims to be the world's first air-conditioned public building. The Sirocco Works Belfast factory pioneered the development of air conditioning.
This culminated in preparations dating from the mid-1890s to modernize hospital design, with particular attention to advances in antiseptic treatment in the operation and application of plenum ventilation. An important element of the original hospital design is the layout and technology. The hospital was built at some time in the UK when there was a concern (during the period of social responsibility) because it had sufficient hospital care facilities in (or near) the city center, when it was recognized there was little space available to expand existing hospitals or build new institutions.
The design of the Royal Victoria Hospital did not pay much attention to the usual requirements of hospital sites for access to sunshine and fresh air, and the traditional pavilion-style hospital design was abandoned. The ward is placed side-by-side, on one level, wall-to-wall, without an intervening opening space. There are many long and communal wards with large windows at each end, with clerestory windows also providing daylight. The balcony (small for the size of the ward) is placed at the end of a long hall, and there are several accessible outdoor areas. However, outdoor access does not have an inseparable relationship with hospital building design; when the hospital grows, the exterior area available for the patient is reduced. Currently, this area is almost entirely taken up by the roads within the site and the parking area. For outpatients, the tiny Dunville Park is located next to the hospital; However, it was not disturbed from the traffic noise. Close city-hospital accommodation (with little open space) was not unique in Europe or the British Isles at that time, despite contrary to the age trends.
The design of the Royal Victoria Hospital reacts to that trend when cities are thriving. Many urban hospitals in Britain today are different from Victorian times, where outdoor access is considered essential for healing. (In particular, there has not been a nationally identifiable trend to develop hospitals including open spaces since then.) Fresh air supply in R.V.H. based on the plenary principle (for example, the space above the descending ceiling), which helps control relative humidity.
Royal Victoria Hospital and its hospital became the Royal Group of Hospitals (or The Royal Hospitals). The Royal Hospitals site has grown over the years to occupy a large area in western Belfast, walking distance from the city center. Most of these sites are occupied by the Royal Victoria Hospital itself. The site consists of authentic Victorian buildings (some visible from Grosvenor Road) and later, less architectural buildings. The original Victorian design is a partial adaptation of the British Renaissance style. The material of the original building is typical for Belfast: red brick with Portland stone dressing.

Architecture
The tall, long, functional mid-twentieth century building dominates most of the long side of Falls Road in the hospital, and gives a clear view to the part of the busy road west of Grosvenor Road and the intersection of Springfield Road. In this expanse of the Falls Road, twentieth century medieval hospital buildings face Saint Paul's Roman Catholic Church, Saint Dominic's School of Daughter, and historic, historic, simple, historic buildings in Belfast (some converted into shops, small store and cafà © s). At the end of this stretch (near Broadway), the Royal Belfast Hospital for Sick Children occupies a smaller historic Victorian design building.
Recently, a typically simple functional building located in the middle of a site bordering Westlink, largely invisible from Falls Road and Grosvenor Road. Hospital sites stretch near Broadway to the west and down the border of the Link-city transport line in the south, where recent functional buildings can be seen.
A little extra to the front of the main West Belfast site in recent years is a new fence (on Falls Road, west of the Grosvenor and Springfield Roads intersections). The wavy pattern of the fence reminiscent of the structure of DNA. There are small yellow Xs and Y details for X and Y chromosomes, and portraits (laser cut in sheet steel) map the development of human life from birth to 100 years of age.
Staff and patient
Frank Pantridge, "the father of emergency medicine", was a cardiac consultant at the hospital for over 30 years. During his time at the Royal, Pantridge developed a portable defibrillator, which revolutionized emergency medicine by allowing patients treated earlier by paramedics.
Social Democratic and Labor Party politician (SDLP) Carmel Hanna works as a nurse at the hospital. Progressive Persatuan Party politician David Ervine was accepted on January 7, 2007 and died there the following day. During the Northern Ireland Issue, R.V.H. is considered one of the best hospitals in the world for the treatment of gunshot wounds. The sound of gunfire to the knee (associated with "punishment" shooting) allows surgeons in R.V.H. to gain fame with their treatment of such injuries.
Remodeling
- New RVH Hospital (Stage one)
Initial phase of the rebuilding plan provided:
- 400 beds
- Eight new theaters
- 25 bed intensive care units (one of the largest in Europe)
- Clinical fracture
- Central investigation unit
- Endocrinology unit
- Pharmacy
- Restaurant, coffee bar, Mace department store and vending machine
The new RVH is also associated with the updated "A" Block.
Renovations completed ahead of schedule and budgeted in the fall of 2001 (for outpatient use), first bed occupancy in 2002 and official opening in 2003. The £ 42 million hospital was officially opened on 2 September 2003 by HRH Prince Charles , 100 years after King Edward VII opened his first RVH on July 27, 1903 with Queen Alexandra. The new 29,000-m 2 building replaced the Victorian brick red hospital; it has been praised at the Royal Society of the Ulster Architects Design Awards and an award at the Irish Landscape Institute Awards 2002.
- Central Imaging and Decontamination Center (Phase 2A)
The Ã, Â £ 25 million Imaging Center is a stand-alone structure located between Block A and the Cardiac Theater located on the RVH site. It was completed in March 2007 and opened shortly thereafter. Central Decontamination Center opened in May 2006 at a cost of Ã, Â £ 11 million, and houses one of the largest house-cleaning cleaning operations in the UK.

- Penggantian put rawat jalan dan mata, telinga, hidung dan tenggorokan bangunan (Tahap 2C)
The proposed location for phase 2C is the area adjacent to the new imaging center, between the new Royal Victoria Hospital and the old Victorian corridor that runs parallel with Grosvenor Road.
New Hospital for Women and Children
The £ 300 million project will provide 75,000 square meters (810,000 sqÃ, ft) of new accommodation (including operating room, inpatient wards, outpatient gynecology and childhood accidents and emergency departments).
Emergency Department
The Royal Victoria Hospital has a number of specialists who handle Heart Surgery and Critical Care. RVH also has the Northern Ireland Trauma Center.
In November 2013 it was reported that the College of Emergency Medicine considers that the problems faced by medical personnel in the Trust Victims Department may be worse than elsewhere in the UK.
The Royal Victoria Hospital has, in recent years, been criticized by health professionals for its long waiting time at A & amp; E, this has resulted in the patient and emergency ambulance delayed and had to queue outside the hospital for hours at a time. Managers say this is due to lack of funding from the government and from other neighboring hospitals that shut down their Emergency Department because of too many people.
