[3] This address did not last very long, as on 16 February 1793 it is noted that the College appointed a Physician in Ordinary at Sir Patrick Dun's Hospital on Lower Exchange Street.

[3] The School of Physic Act 1800 entrusted eight commissioners to appropriate the £1,200 already given to the College for the provision of a hospital that was capable of holding thirty patients.

The commissioners were the Sackville Hamilton, the Provost of Trinity College, the President of the College of Physicians, Sir Francis Hutchinson Baronet, the Hon George Knox, Dr Arthur Browne, William Digges La Touche and Abraham Wilkinson Esquires.

[3] Parliamentary aid was sought and £6,204 was granted to finish the building of the hospital, furnish it and run it temporarily.

[4][6] As well as providing clinical instruction for medical students Dun's Hospital also taught midwifery and trained army nurses.
