Wow my old man had a 15% chance survival on an op , or 2 months to live. This hospital saved him too and they’re the only reason he’s still here today !
Those handprints you see on the wall are the handprints of people in the operating department when it closed down in 2022. One of the first prints on the wall on the right is Mike Raraty - a surgeon who operated on me in 2017 to remove pancreatic cancer when I was just 28. Those handprints are quite simply the hands of people who have saved hundreds, if not thousands, of lives over the years of the hospital being in use - it's so profound.
How can the NHS complain about lack of money when equipment is left unused, lights and heating left on and perfectly good furniture and fittings left to rot? I have family members running a charity which collects, renews and gives old furniture to people who need it. An old desk will probably being thrown in landfill, when someone could use it for their child to use to do homework or as a computer desk.
Agreed, I was shocked at the amount of stuff left in there. I hope that any left over equipment is reused in the NHS OR given to other countries for them to use
The closure is down to the Government not the NHS. Complain to them, they want to privatise our health service so don't care that this will now go to waste.
This is insane. This is a MODERN FULLY EQUIPPED hospital. Just abandoned. It's just taking hundreds of millions of £££££ and flushing them down the toilet. Utterly shameful.
6:12 - Ward 11Z. Same-day admission for surgical procedures. Quick turnaround. Hope to have you in and out within 12 hours. 8:25 - Major surgical theatre. Had a kidney transplant in one of these. The first room is a pre-staging area where they engage in small talk, settle your nerves, and general anaesthesia is performed. Then you wake up in recovery disbelieving you underwent surgery during the 10 seconds you were asleep.
I had an emergency Aortic Aneurism repair in 2019 at the Royal. I was extremely lucky and owe my life to the skilled cardiovascular teams who worked there. I'm pleased you didn't go round just smashing stuff up, very interesting video.
This was a great place to work. Ward 11z and the Theatres. It’s funny how you can have such a connection with a building. That’s why we all left our handprints- to leave a mark that we were there. Thanks for sharing. ❤️
Can you tell us or me why it closed and why it's all on as if it's ready to go?! It's even got security, someone's paying for all this?! All the best! x
As an analytical chemist, I can tell you now that the equipment left behind is very old and not worth keeping/ using. Furthermore the hospital was abandoned because its new replacement opened next door to it. Yes its ridiculous the lights and heating are on, but i presume its because some of the clinics are still/ were operational at the time of filming (as stated some of the other comments). Furthermore some comments state that the hospital runs on a very efficient plant, so i guess not too bad afterall. Lastly, a recent google search has revealed that they are demolishing this hospital now.
I’m a RN of 20+ years and looking at the structure itself, I do not understand the need to demolish this hospital. It makes no sense at all. Equipment upgrade needs is one thing but outright demolishing the structure makes no sense. I’ve seen Hospitals older than this by 50-100 years still operating perfectly.
@QueenE31 they built the new hospital right next door to this one. The old building was falling apart and was overcrowded. Building a new one was more cost-effective than completely rehabilitating and refurbishing the old one. The move from the old to the new was captured in a bbc documentary.
is this why NHS is collapsing all this waste of equipment and OMG who is paying for the heat and lighting still on THIS should be reported to media local councils this is shameful when our nhs resources are in dire straits
I mean, some of is still in operation and the site runs on an incredibly efficient plant, then it isn't wasteful. The NHS is in shambles due to 13 years or Tory mismanagement.
@@paulconnor8516 and if we had more bright ppllike yourself then the likes of you cud fix it along with finding out who the greedy b stards are that sucking yhe cash AND LIFE OUT OF OUT OF NHS
I always have mixed feelings about a hospital being shut down. It seems so odd for a building to be fit-for-purpose one day, then abandoned the next. So many people have many emotional memories in the places, both good and bad. Soon to be demolished, I assume. It does bother me how much still-good equipment is left behind when this happens. Even if you don't want to take it to your new facility, at least box it up and ship it to some 3rd world country where they'd be delighted to have it.
Trust me, it hasn’t been fit for purpose for years! Appalling building with problems from day one (my father was a surgeon there and operated on the first day it opened). Badly built, “fixing it” from Day 1, and was it not for the stupidly long delays in planning it, and then the Carilion fiasco, it should’ve been knocked down about 10 years ago! New one is great though. 👍
Still looked like a pretty decent place actually it’s a shame all of that equipment is going to waste when it can be donated to lower level facilities and doc offices that’s terrible hopefully eventually it will be great vlog thanks for sharing 👍👍
Such a waste of nhs assets £££ no wonder the nhs is screwed. Can't see any efforts to repurpose the equipment & unreal the amount of files left about full of data.
As an operating theatre RN , I can state that most of the equipment left behind is done so because it it broken, outdated or no longer useful . The staff moving out of those departments , explicitly only took with them what was needed and useful. Also, when a new hospital is built, the budgeting encompasses the entire facility including new equipment , furniture , pretty much everything. While it seems a waste to us watching , this is how things work across the world when a new facility is opened.
Was a great place had spinal surgery in 2018 the care I received from all the doctors nurses and staff was amazing and a special thanks to Marcus de Mathis for performing my operation .I will always be grateful
I agree with you this hospital should not been explored by some idiots it has been closed down no one should be breaking and entering any part of the hospital absolute ridiculous
Such ashame everything left behind .so many have walked that walk some to recover and some to never see daylight again so sad .all them staff that have practiced.contributed to saving lives. And then to leave all power on .absolutely terrible.and this is in so many of these findings and they wonder why our country is in a crisis .unbelievable .loved this so interesting
Thanks for the tour. You missed the autopsy room at the mere end, before you cut to the reception area. The most uncanny thing is the electric power being full on!
Thankyou for this video! Though I wish you could have shown some of the wards, especially 8Y for nostalgic reasons obviously. I hope you can do another tour of Liverpool Old Royal showing more areas in there 🤞 It's a crime to still have all that electricy & heating being used!! I can appreciate that maybe some areas may be having workers taking old equipment away but certainly not in 100% of the building!! And they certainly don't need the big lamps still on in the operation theatres!! Such a waste of money it really is. Please do another explore of this hospital 🙏
I'm starting to believe that any time we face a similar situation the main reason is always enriching someone. Any public helth service all over Europe is in great suffering, why allowing such a waste of means?? I understand the building may face some structural issue, but it would be always cheaper having it fixed than building a new edifice. In my eyes it appears to be a functional and still modern hospital, who benefits from abandoning it? Why still having heating and power on?? What a shame! But I'm always reminded not to let my PC monitor in stad by cause it uses energy....
Those modern Galaxy Lamps in the Theaters. Aint all that old. Late 90s-early 2000s Even the lamps controled by the wall unit were easy only about 10 year old.
This was one of the worst hospital buildings in the uk, it flooded once a onth on average and other crucial systems failed constantly. It’s been moved to a new hospital next door costing several hundreds of millions of pounds. But the quality of staff and care was and remains exceptional
I people need to the video just want to say you're absolutely right why is all the equipment being left their why isn't it being transferred to other hospitals
NHS ~ Non existing Health System. Now you know where the money really goes. Not reusing expensive equipment, running lights and heating with no one there, while people sleep homeless on the street. Makes sense to me (not). 😞
That was amazing. I would love to have a look around old abandoned hospitals. It looks so fun. I would of be very tempted to of taken some souvenirs home with me 😀
Great video, I had no idea that this hospital had closed down. it was very interesting to see it left with all its power on along with all its equipment left behind. I wonder if they are planning on re- using that hospital again, should there be another pandemic or something. Great video. Keep up the great work
Large hospital - split in to AB and XY sides for the wards, lots of theatres on 11th floor, many specialities, many changes over the years - I think 11z used to be the Halewood Unit for kidney dialysis, then it was ITU - if my memory serves. ITU moved to 1st floor. I agree with the comments about the waste of resources, especially the electric!
It's criminal that places like this are left in this way. The NHS is chronically underfunded yet they leave buildings fully lit and heated for years after closure, the fixtures, fittings and equipment in this place must be worth tens or hundreds of thousands at least. It seems common across all large buildings. Near me there's a Debenhams that closed during covid and the lights have been on for the years since despite no one being there
I can't believe this. The hospital opened in 1977/78. I worked there in intensive care when Sefton General and other hospitals closed including THE Royal Infirmary. How come this hospital was so badly built. The equipment left behind is a disgrace. Who was responsable for this disgracefull waste of money. N.M.GLEAVES S.R.N.
Sad to see The Royal close it was opened in 1978 an was full of asbestos thats why a new hospital was built,,attended myself many a time over the years being that its in my home city,,my mum also worked there to for years before moving to one of our other hospitals !!
not really . They were left behind as they were old, broken , blunt, no longer serviceable . Hospitals throw out hundreds pf instruments each month for these reasons. It's just the nature of the business. Operating theatre staff and instrument technicians make the determination that an instrument is beyond its useful life.
It was still being used for access to the sexual health clinic…. It only moved very recently in to Linda McCartney building. That equipment and files are decommissioned and going to all be decommissioned and paperwork to be destroyed. You wouldn’t want to use any of the equipment left
What a waste! How do the NHS justify all this wanton casting off of quality equipment worth so much money? Who is paying for the heating? Lighting? Madness. It isn't even as though the equipment would have to be moved very far. And this is just one hospital.
Wasn’t abandoned by anyone it was out of date and the city built the new one at the back of the old one and when the New one was opened the old one was closed down so it could be demolished.
Yes, that happened to my local hospital. In fact, I was the last person treated in the A and E unit. It was like being treated in a M*A*S*H* tent in Korea, only had a knee injury, fortunately, but the unit was ¾ moved into the new hospital ready for opening the next day
They have to leave the electricity on and heat to prevent pipes from breaking and anyone who has authorizations to be in the building don''t fall . That said the build looks like it's in good condition and left some very expensive equipment behind . I would this building would be an annex to the new hospital for outpatient care or it has renovation done to accommodate new services and administrative offices etc . What really bothers me is taxpayers, paid for the building and all the equipment left behind . It's also unsafe to leave the open and the elevators on . The building can be considered unsafe premises . They either closed this hospital because a developer wants the land for condos or the structure may deficiencies that make building not up,to current building codes . I am glad you should everybody how O.R. lights , instruments, lab equipment examination tables and more were left behind , everything can still be used and cost more to now . This why the NHS has issues , because administrators want the latest and greatest stuff and usuable equipment is tossed away . What a shame.
That was crazy! It looks like they just left everything behind! Lights, equipment & heating all let on. What a waste. I hope that it's still not like that?
Can't believe how hospitals close down and leave so many items behind. Thought security made you leave after your video around the hospital first. Poor security outfit. They are that poor they should get jobs in prison guard, ha ha ! Great video guys thanks for posting
Looks like a nice hospital very modern so why did they close it down? When they finished building the new Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Kings Lynn Norfolk you should come and investigate the old Queen Elizabeth Hospital before it gets bulldozed
What a waste of a beautiful useable building So sad it will soon be ransacked and destroyed We are truly very wasteful in America Other country's would die for a building like this .
Things like this make me so mad I just don’t understand why they leave everything behind all that medical equipment just left if they know a hospital is going to close why not give the equipment to other hospitals that could make use of it or take it to The New hospital and keep it as backup and no wonder our electric bills are so high when they leave, all the electric on, . And no wonder people are having to wait so long for treatment when hospitals are closing down. I don’t know why they closed it there isn’t any thing wrong with it. And they built a new one what a waste of tax payer money. And some people are ok with this . I would understand if the hospital was not in very good shape but it ok yes some areas may need some work doing to it but would it be cheaper to do that then build a brand new hospital which costs so more to do .
I think they're still changing the equipment over, went past the other day there were loading vans. Only close down last month so it needs some time I think
A chemist in comments above states that the equipment is old & can't be used. Electric lights & heating are on probably with an economic plant, apparently.
That should move all the sa in there and let them fix it up and have jobs and mental health prodicale class or use it to take homeless off the streets with proper program s for 2 full years of all types of moving forward programs school
6:01 puts on white jackets *Security:* do you work here? Yeah we do! *Security:* you do know this part of the hospital is closed It's our first day.... 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Because a brand new hospital was built right next to it, and this hospital is crumbling apart and was highly needed of an upgrade, which is why a new facility was built right behind it
This hospital saved my life,I was given a 10% chance of survival
Sad to see it's state here but happy it saved lives!❤ Happy they opened the new facility tho.
I’m so glad you are still with us.
Wow my old man had a 15% chance survival on an op , or 2 months to live. This hospital saved him too and they’re the only reason he’s still here today !

This why the NHS has issues , because administrators want the latest and greatest stuff and usuable equipment is tossed away . What a shame.
the heating and electric is still on as people are still working there due to there being no space in the new hospital
it makes you laugh they build new hospitals and they dont have enough room!!
That was crazy! It looks like they just left everything behind! Lights, equipment & heating all let on. What a waste. I hope that it's still not like that?
Its still in better condition than most NHS hospitals....
Can't believe how hospitals close down and leave so many items behind. Thought security made you leave after your video around the hospital first. Poor security outfit. They are that poor they should get jobs in prison guard, ha ha ! Great video guys thanks for posting
Looks like a nice hospital very modern so why did they close it down?
When they finished building the new Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Kings Lynn Norfolk you should come and investigate the old Queen Elizabeth Hospital before it gets bulldozed
What a waste of a beautiful useable building So sad it will soon be ransacked and destroyed We are truly very wasteful in America Other country's would die for a building like this .
what is the screaming in the background
Doc clapping nurse meat from the back

I have been here so many times.
Things like this make me so mad I just don’t understand why they leave everything behind all that medical equipment just left if they know a hospital is going to close why not give the equipment to other hospitals that could make use of it or take it to The New hospital and keep it as backup and no wonder our electric bills are so high when they leave, all the electric on, . And no wonder people are having to wait so long for treatment when hospitals are closing down. I don’t know why they closed it there isn’t any thing wrong with it. And they built a new one what a waste of tax payer money. And some people are ok with this . I would understand if the hospital was not in very good shape but it ok yes some areas may need some work doing to it but would it be cheaper to do that then build a brand new hospital which costs so more to do .
I think they're still changing the equipment over, went past the other day there were loading vans. Only close down last month so it needs some time I think
A chemist in comments above states that the equipment is old & can't be used. Electric lights & heating are on probably with an economic plant, apparently.
Sometimes it's to do with computer networks within. Other times cross-contamination. Avoiding spreading hospital acquired diseases. I think.
All the equipment needs to be sent to the Ukraine. And the rooms fitted out to give the homeless a home.
It may be used for storage as well
It’s getting demolished
@@abandoneduk4640 ahhhh!!
I think there is a cat where dogs hear sounds
Why closed?? Looks nice.
Can you do Liverpool conversant home aka woolton manor care home? Been closed a short while now
Have a supply room? Where they keep all sorts of things they would need
Guys........ it's absolutely crazy!
Did you find the mortuary?
Absolutely crazy
They should reopen it and making it part of the working hospital
Hopefully no personal files are left behind
They was when we filmed this but it was shortly destroyed after our visit
Why could I hear a baby at the start of the video?
✌
How on earth did you get in? Lots of security everytime I've tried
Was easy when I did it
@@abandoneduk4640 what way did you go
@@6668Adam over the front fence
Nice
Nice ❤
thats so dumb abandoning hospital buildings that are up to date, also did you not hear what sounds like a baby wailing at the start?
Jesus! they left it all turning and burning, energy crisis? what energy crisis.
That should move all the sa in there and let them fix it up and have jobs and mental health prodicale class or use it to take homeless off the streets with proper program s for 2 full years of all types of moving forward programs school
Its the old Liverpool hospital they are knocking it down for new hospital £335 million obviously they'll use the equipment
Why do they have to close hospitals when people need them. I have never been to a hospital yet?
6:01 puts on white jackets
*Security:* do you work here?
Yeah we do!
*Security:* you do know this part of the hospital is closed
It's our first day....
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
WTF... How Were They🛃 Hired?
Sounds Like: #KeystoneKops!
Sounds like a child in the background
WOW why?.
Has this hospital got a resuscitations department
Why would the government just Leave it like this Just shows you the government have got more money than they let on
Because a brand new hospital was built right next to it, and this hospital is crumbling apart and was highly needed of an upgrade, which is why a new facility was built right behind it
I had a 2 week work experiance here.
Can u do more airport
If they close down then yes
What a total waste of equipment and power
