Dispensing History – The Story of Berwick Infirmary
As the work on the new Berwick Infirmary nears completion, it’s timely to look back at Berwick’s health history.
Join local historian, Jim Herbert for this online talk where he will highlight the story and the people who made the Infirmary possible. It has served generations and the present building opened in 1874. However, the idea of a hospital, then known as a dispensary, can be traced back to 1813.
