Thoburn accepted the invitation and after her arrival soon expanded beyond ministering in 1889 she opened a 10bed hospital named Christs Hospital in the West End at 46 York Street It was moved to Mount Auburn in 1893 a nursing school was opened in 1902 and the hospital was renamed The Christ Hospital in 1904
