Be part of a new landmark facility at West Middlesex Hospital
Hounslow is experiencing a major wave of regeneration and development. Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is investing in a new facility to meet the growing community needs.
With a renewal of Brentford Town Centre and other significant developments across the borough, there is a rising pressure on local infrastructure, especially our overstretched NHS services. Hounslow is already one of the most densely populated areas in London, where overall population increase was 7.7%, while in Hounslow it was 13.5% (2021 census). For many members of our community, better access to life-saving and life-enhancing treatments close to where they live is a core concern.
That is why Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is investing in the new Ambulatory Diagnostic Centre at West Middlesex University Hospital—bringing care closer to home for thousands of people living and working in Hounslow, Brentford,
Chiswick and neighbouring Richmond and Ealing. This high-profile project will modernise and significantly increase the capacity for cancer, renal and cardiac services at our local hospital. Without this new facility, the needs of the local community cannot be met. Building work is already underway and on track for completion in 2026.
CW+, the official charity of West Middlesex University Hospital, is now raising £1.5m to enhance the core £80m build. This additional funding will help secure world-class imaging equipment and deliver a programme of enhancements – focusing on comfort, colour, light, sound, art and green spaces – that will humanise the space and create the best possible environment for patient care and recovery. With half of the funds already secured, CW+ is keen to reach its target through galvanising support to make sure this huge local asset is built for the community by the community. This is an exciting time for local businesses and corporates based in West London to get involved with our fundraising mission and show their support for this state-of-the-art clinical facility at the heart of our local community.
CW+ was one of the local charities supported at the Chamber’s recent Golf Day on 18th July, which raised just over £2,300. With huge thanks to the sponsors of the event, the golfers and all those who came along to the fun dinner in the evening and put their hands in their pockets!
