History
The infirmary was established by William Davison as the Alnwick Dispensary "for the prompt and judicious aid of medicines and medical advice" in 1815.[1] The medical school Davison set up in his pharmacy premises was noted throughout the North of England.[2] It became Alnwick Infirmary in 1849[3] and joined the National Health Service in 1948.[1]
