First opened as the Middlesex Infirmary in 1745 on Windmill Street, it was moved in 1757 to [[Mortimer Street]] where it remained until it was finally closed in 2005. Its staff and services were transferred to various sites within the [[University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust|University College London Hospitals NHS Trust]]. The Middlesex Hospital Medical School, with a history dating back to 1746, merged with [[UCL Medical School]] in 1987. The [[Broderip Ward]], which opened in 1987, was the first ward dedicated to the care and treatment of people affected by [[HIV/AIDS in the United Kingdom]].

===Development of the hospital=== The first Middlesex Hospital, which was named after the county of [[Middlesex]], opened as the Middlesex Infirmary in Windmill Street in 1745.<ref name=lost>{{cite web |url=http://ezitis.myzen.co.uk/middlesex.html |title=Middlesex Hospital |publisher=Lost Hospitals of London |access-date=10 May 2018}}</ref> The infirmary started with 15 beds to provide medical treatment for the poor.<ref name=lost/> Funding came from subscriptions and, in 1747, the hospital became the first in England to add lying-in (maternity) beds.<ref name=lost/> Prior to 1773, the wards in the hospital were named as 'Mens long ward', 'Mens square ward up one pair of stairs' or 'two pairs of stairs'. Names of wards later followed after the chief nurse of each ward. Naming of wards for several governors and medical staff of the hospital began with wards Percy, Clayton, Villeneau and Pyke, named after [[Hugh Percy, 1st Duke of Northumberland]], Sir Kenrick Clayton, John Villeneau and the benefactor Pyke, respectively. The large amount local construction work resulted in one-in-four admissions being due to trauma, and Percy ward became the accident ward.<ref name="Shaw">{{cite book |last1=Shaw |first1=C.

The foundation stone for the second Middlesex Hospital, in Mortimer Street, was laid by the hospital's president, the [[Hugh Percy, 1st Duke of Northumberland|Earl of Northumberland]], in 1755.<ref name=lost/> The central block of the new hospital opened in 1757.<ref name=lost/>

Over the years extra wings were added but, in 1924, it was decided that the building was structurally unsound and an entirely new building would be required.<ref name=lost/> The Duke of York, later King [[George VI]], having visited the hospital on 26 June 1928 to lay the foundation stone of the new building, returned on 29 May 1935 to open the completed building.<ref name=lost/> The hospital had been completely rebuilt, on the same site and in stages, without ever being closed, paid for by more than £1 million of donations from members of the public.<ref>{{cite web |title=Hospitals |url=http://www.derelictlondon.com/hospitals.html |publisher=Derelict London |access-date=25 June 2018}}</ref>

In 1930 a children's ward opened in the West Wing of the hospital. The [[Bernhard Baron]] Ward, originally called the Babies Ward, was decorated with panels of [[Hospital picture tiles|tiles]] depicting [[Nursery rhyme|nursery rhymes]] and pictures of trees, birds and animals.<ref name=":4" /> On one wall a large picture depicted a fairground roundabout surrounded by fairground activities such as [[Punch and Judy]].

After coming under the management of the Bloomsbury Health Authority in 1980, the Middlesex Hospital became associated with various specialist hospitals in the local area.<ref name=lost/> In 1992 the local urology hospitals, [[St Paul's Hospital, Endell Street|St Paul's]], [[St Peter's Hospital, Covent Garden|St Peter's]] and [[St Philip's Hospital, Sheffield Street|St Philip's]], were closed down with services transferred to new accommodation in the Middlesex Hospital.<ref name=lost/>

===Middlesex Hospital Medical School=== The Middlesex Hospital Medical School traced its origins to 1746 (a year after the foundation of the Middlesex Hospital), when students were 'walking the wards'. The motto of the medical school, {{lang|la|Miseris succurrere disco}}, was provided by one of the deans, Dr William Cayley, from [[Virgil]]'s passage about Queen [[Dido]] aiding a shipwreck: {{lang|la|Non ignara mali, miseris succurrere disco}} ('Not unacquainted with misfortune myself, I learn to succour the distressed').<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=101lb8v-bJcC&q=Non+ignara+mali%2C+miseris+succurrere+disco+dido&pg=PA242 |title=Humanistica Lovaniensia: Journal of Neo-Latin Studies |first=Gilbert |last=Tournoy |publisher=[[Leuven University Press]] |year=2006 |isbn=978-9058675712 |page=242}}</ref>

At the establishment of the then London University (now [[University College London]]), the governors of the Middlesex Hospital declined permission of the former's medical students to use the wards of the Middlesex Hospital for clinical training. This refusal prompted the foundation of the North London Hospital, now [[University College Hospital]], in 1834.<ref name=chronology>{{cite web |url=http://www.uclh.nhs.uk/About+UCLH/History+and+archives/UCLH+trust+chronology.htm |title=UCLH trust chronology |access-date=10 September 2010 |publisher=University College London Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090411203613/http://www.uclh.nhs.uk/About+UCLH/History+and+archives/UCLH+trust+chronology.htm |archive-date=11 April 2009 |url-status=dead}}</ref> [[File:Murals from Middlesex Hospital.jpg|thumb|Mural from Middlesex Hospital at [[Jackfield Tile Museum]]]] The '''Courtauld Institute of Biochemistry''' of the Middlesex Hospital Medical School was opened by [[Samuel Courtauld (art collector)|Samuel Courtauld]] in 1928, the foundation stone having been laid on 20 July 1927.

The medical schools of the Middlesex Hospital and University College Hospital merged in 1987 to form the University College and Middlesex School of Medicine (UCMSM).

The chapel was structurally complete by the mid-1920s; the surrounding hospital was then demolished and rebuilt around it between 1928 and 1929. The chapel was not formally opened until 1929, by which time much of the lavish interior decoration of marbles and mosaic in a mix of Italian [[Gothic architecture|gothic]] and [[Romanesque art|romanesque]] styles had been added, giving it the appearance it broadly retains today. The chapel is a Grade II* [[Listed building]].<ref>{{NHLE |desc=MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL THE CHAPEL |num=1223496 |access-date=1 November 2015}}</ref>
