West Middlesex Hospital

The West Middlesex Hospital is a major NHS hospital in Isleworth, West London. It serves the London boroughs of Hounslow and Richmond upon Thames. The hospital has 394 beds.

The hospital offers all of the services associated with a major general hospital including Accident and Emergency, Acute Medicine, Care of the Elderly, Surgery and Maternity Services.

West Middlesex Hospital has recently been renovated and it is now a modern, compact hospital. As part of the redevelopment, a new £50 million main building opened in May 2003. This houses A&E, critical care, operating theatres, clinical imaging, outpatients and patient suites. Work on the refurbishment of some of the more modern existing buildings was recently completed.

The hospital has an active volunteer program and medical students from Central University of Iowa are allowed to complete internships at the hospital.

A new development in late 2006 has been the great expansion of the cardiology department of the hospital. The department now offers most modalities of non-invasive cardiac investigation, while invasive investigations are carried over mainly at Hammersmith hospital with which the department has great ties.
