West Middlesex University Hospital

West Middlesex University Hospital West Middlesex University Hospital is part of Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, one of the top ranked and top performing trusts in the UK.

Our Trust employs more than 6,000 staff over our two main hospital sites, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital, and across 12 community-based clinics within North West London. We pride ourselves on providing outstanding care to a community of over 1.5 million people. Both hospitals have major A&E departments, treating more than 300,000 patients each year. The Trust is the second largest maternity service in England, delivering more than 11,000 babies every year. In partnership with our hospital charity CW+ we build and enhance clinical facilities to create an outstanding care environment for our patients and for our staff. We are growing our existing portfolio of innovation projects and our reputation in this field, to become a national leader for innovation within the NHS. We aspire to provide locally-based and accessible services enhanced by world-class clinical expertise. Our excellent financial and operational performance is a source of great pride to us. It is nationally recognised and sees us simultaneously achieving our financial plan while continuing to be one of the best performers against the national access standards for accident and emergency (A&E), referral to treatment (RTT) and cancer. 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 to deliver integrated care in Hammersmith and Fulham, Hounslow and West London and beyond.

Olympic champion Dame Laura Kenny visited our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital for a BBC Breakfast feature which aired this morning on the challenges, stigma and benefits of breastfeeding.

Laura spoke with Dr Cheryl Battersby, who shared evidence-based information on the benefits of breast milk, especially for premature babies, while highlighting the importance of supporting parents without pressure or judgement.

“No one should ever feel judged for how they feed their baby — what matters is that babies are fed, nourished and thriving.” — Dr Battersby

Abbie Mason‑Woods, mum of preterm twins cared for in our NICU, also spoke to Laura Kenny, sharing her own experience with feeding her babies.
