Chelsea and Westminster Hospital

We are proud to be one of the top-performing and safest trusts in England. We employ 7,500 staff across our two main hospital sites—Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital—as well as our award-winning community-bas pital—as well as our award-winning community-based clinics within North West London. We pride ourselves on delivering outstanding care to a community of more than 1.5 million people. Both hospitals feature major A&E departments, treating 270,000 patients annually. We run the second-largest maternity service in England, delivering 10,500 babies each year. Our specialist services include our world-renowned burns service—the leading centre in London and the South East—our children’s inpatient and outpatient services, and our specialist HIV and award winning sexual health services. In partnership with our hospital charity, CW+, we continuously enhance clinical facilities to create an outstanding care environment for our patients and staff. We are expanding our portfolio of innovation projects and strengthening our reputation as a national leader for innovation in the NHS. Our mission is to provide locally accessible services enhanced by world-class clinical expertise. We take great pride in our excellent financial and operational performance, which is nationally recognised. We consistently meet our financial targets while leading in national access standards for A&E, referral to treatment (RTT), and cancer care. Through the Health and Care Partnership (HCP) in both North West and South West London, we work as a wider health system to drive improvements to care and deliver integrated services across Hammersmith and Fulham, Hounslow, West London and beyond. The two hospitals officially merged to form one NHS foundation trust on 1 Sep 2015. Under a unified management team, both hospitals continue to provide the same comprehensive clinical services as before, including full maternity, emergency and children’s services. We also offer a range of community-based services across London, including our award-winning HIV and sexual health clinics. Our ambition is to lead the NHS with world-class, patient-focused healthcare delivered locally, going beyond for our patients and community to achieve this goal. ...view more
