The George Marshall Medical Museum exhibits George Marshall’s fantastic collection of objects illustrating the way that medicine and healthcare have developed over the past 300 years. Visitors will see our collection of death masks, the reconstructed apothecary shop and Victorian operating theatre. We continue to collect.
The Museum is located inside the Charles Hastings Education Centre, a Registered Charity and education and training facility for health care staff in Worcestershire. We are open Monday to Friday 9am to 5pm, free. We are closed on Bank Holidays and usually for a week over Christmas and New Year.
ACCESSIBILITY AND WAYFINDING
DisabledGo completed an access audit for full details of using the building.
The museum, bathrooms and facilities can all be found on the ground floor of the Charles Hastings Education Centre. There is ramp and stair access into the building from the main street. The museum itself has a slight sloping floor as it was designed around a tiered lecture theatre. Those using wheelchairs may need to apply brakes.

how to find us
The roads around Worcestershire Royal Hospital are often congested with motor vehicles. Please consider how you will travel to us.
BY BIKE
There are cycle stands in the garden of the Charles Hastings Education Centre. To find the stands, cycle around to the back of the Charles Hastings Education Centre, turn left into the first small car parking area and dismount at the pavement running around the back of the building. The cycle stands are just to the left of the grassed area. To enter the building, you will then need to walk around to the front entrance. Please note, the Charles Hastings Education Centre accepts no responsibility for loss or damage to any bicycles.
BY BUS
The 38 and X38 bus services run between the city centre and the hospital site. Bus details change regularly so please check bus timetables for current information.
BY car
Satnav: WR5 1DD (the postcode will only take you to the correct main road which loops around the hospital site. As soon as you are on the Newtown Road, you must follow signs for the hospital, and once on the hospital site, follow signs for the Charles Hastings Education Centre and Medical Museum. There is a SatNav error for the exact postcode, and it will try to take you along Malvern View, which is closed access to residents of this street only).
Please note we cannot guarantee a parking space in our small car park. There is charged visitor parking at the main hospital site.
BY TRAIN
The nearest stations are Worcester Foregate Street and Worcester Shrub Hill. It is possible to catch a bus to the hospital site from nearby either of these stations, and there is a taxi rank outside both.
BY COACH
We can only guarantee space for a coach if you have booked at least one week before your arrival. Contact the Curator on 01905 760738 or louise.price10@nhs.net.
If you are coming by coach, with a booked school group or community visit, your coach driver must follow the instructions as above and take due notice of the SatNav error. If you have booked your group, we will reserve the space at the front of the building for you, and the coach must then turn around in order to exit. This is a tight space, but has been done with very large coaches. A pre-visit is suggested so the coach driver is happy with the space.
