About

Welcome

Our values

Our PROUD values demonstrate to staff, patients and the public the standards of care and experience they should expect from our services:

Putting patients first
Responsive to patients and staff
Open and honest
Unfailingly kind
Determined to develop

Proud of our history

Westminster Hospital was founded in 1719 and was replaced by Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in 1993.
Brentford Infirmary opened in 1896, renamed West Middlesex Hospital in 1920.
Our two hospitals merged in 2015 to become one Trust.

Our vision and strategy

Our ambition is simple—to provide world class care. We combine globally recognised clinical expertise with locally delivered care to represent the NHS at its best. This has been tested with staff, patients and stakeholders and is delivered though our staff’s commitment to our values and our organisation’s focus on our 3 strategic priorities:

To deliver high-quality care: Patients, their friends, family and carers will be treated with unfailing kindness and respect by every member of staff in every department and their experience and quality of care will be second to none.
To be the employer of choice: Provide every member of staff with the support, information, facilities and environment they need to develop in their roles and careers, and recruit and retain people needed to deliver high-quality services to our patients and other service users.
To provide better care at lower cost: Continuously improve the quality of care and patient experience through the most efficient use of resources (financial and human, including staff, partners, stakeholders, volunteers and friends).

These priorities are reflected in our clinical services strategy, our quality strategy and our annual operating plan. They are set out in our divisions’ detailed business plans and are the framework for our staff’s objectives and appraisals.

About our Trust

Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is proud to be one of the top performing and safest trusts in England. We have two main acute hospital sites—Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital, plus our award-winning clinics across North West London and beyond.

Both hospitals provide full clinical services, including maternity, emergency and children’s, in addition to a range of community-based services across London, including our award-winning sexual health and HIV clinics.

We’re one of the safest and best performing Trusts in the country. We’re also one of the top trusts to work for—our staff say they’re engaged, motivated, and would recommend us as a place to work and receive treatment.
