The Orthopaedic Hospital on Bristol Road came into being in being in 1907 when George Cadbury gave the Woodlands to The Crippled Children's Union which was an amalgamation of several cripple hospitals one hospital was on Hurst Street and another on Newhall Street.
In 1925 The Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, The Spinal Hospital and the Birmingham Cripples Union came together and King George V approved the title of The Royal Cripples Hospital.
By the 1930's they were able to invest in outpatient facilities at Broad Street, inpatient facilities at the Woodlands as well as convalescent facilities.
