RVI is a British healthcare abbreviation, typically standing for Royal Victoria Infirmary — the major teaching hospital in Newcastle upon Tyne, part of the Newcastle Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust. It is used informally and officially in the Northeast of England to refer to the hospital in everyday conversation, directions, and local media. As with many hospital abbreviations, it is hyper-local and meaningful primarily to those in the relevant geographic area.
She was rushed to the RVI after the accident and spent two nights in the observation ward.
