Udston Hospital is a health facility in Farm Road, Hamilton, South Lanarkshire, Scotland. It is managed by NHS Lanarkshire.

History

The hospital was created by converting a 19th-century mansion built for Lewis Potter, a director of the City of Glasgow Bank, into an infectious diseases hospital in May 1919.[1] It was expanded in 1930 and, after joining the National Health Service in 1948, it was expanded again in the late 1990s when a large modern extension was built on the site.[1] One of the wards used for elderly patients who were awaiting transfer to a nursing home or a package of homecare, known as Douglas Ward, was closed in 2018.[2][3]
