After 135 years of treating patients on site on Dudley Road, Birmingham City Hospital officially closed its doors today. Work began at 5am to move the remaining 110 patients over to the new Midland Metropolitan University Hospital, just 1.7 miles away. Patients were moved one-by-one by ambulance with the final one leaving just before midday. That patient was given a special farewell as he is one of the hospital's own; Dr Pankaj Kumar has worked at the site as a Specialist A&E Doctor for 18 years.
