King Edward VIIs Hospital for Officers was established in 1899 by two sisters, Agnes and Fanny Keyser, who turned their home at 17 Grosvenor Crescent into a hospital for sick and wounded Officers, returning from the Boer War. King Edward VII became the Hospitals first patron.
With the encouragement of His Majesty King Edward VII, together with Agnes Keysers enthusiasm, immense support was received from the individuals who later became known as Friends. Over 4,000 Friends pledge their support to the Hospital to this day. Sister Agnes and her staff continued to care for Officers in peacetime. She was renowned for her devoted service to the Hospital, her kindness, tact and firm, effective but inherently caring management.
The Hospital moved to its present site in Beaumont Street in 1948 when it was officially opened by Her Majesty Queen Mary.
In 2000 the Hospital changed its title to King Edward VIIs Hospital Sister Agnes and more recently, in accordance with our charitble aim, the financial benefits to which Officer patients had been entitled, were conditionally extended to all ranks of ex-Service personnel.
Today this private independent, acute Hospital, registered with the Healthcare Commission, fully accredited by the Heath Quality Service and recognised by Investors in People, offers the highest standards of medical excellence, the most modern equipment and facilities combined with impeccable standards of care from which so many patients and their families have benefited over the years.
