University Hospital Crosshouse, known locally as Crosshouse, is a large district general hospital situated outside the village of Crosshouse, two miles outside Kilmarnock town centre in Scotland.[1] It provides services to the North Ayrshire and East Ayrshire areas and is managed by NHS Ayrshire and Arran.
Built to replace the former Kilmarnock Infirmary, it opened to patients in 1984, and today the hospital houses the national Cochlear Implant Service[2] and provides paediatric inpatient services.[3]
