The hospital has its origins in the Wellhouse Hospital which opened in 1920 and became the Barnet General Hospital in 1950. The Barnet General Hospital was replaced by a new hospital, procured under the private finance initiative in the late 20th century. The new facility, which offers a complete range of services, was built by Bouygues and opened as Barnet Hospital in 2002. The hospital, which is well served by local bus services, was evaluated as good by the Care Quality Commission in 2016. Barnet Hospital was being investigated in relation to the Jimmy Savile sexual abuse scandal in 2023.
