The facility was established as the Royal Air Force Hospital Ely in 1939.[1] It treated military casualties during the Second World War.[2] It joined the National Health Service in 1948 and, following a visit by the Princess of Wales in 1987, it was renamed the Princess of Wales Royal Air Force Hospital.[2] Despite a decision by the Royal Air Force to close the facility in 1992, it was saved from closure as a result of pressure from Action for a Community Hospital in Ely, a local pressure group.[3] It was subsequently managed on a civilian basis and renamed the Princess of Wales Hospital.[4]
