We are seeing an increase in measles cases across north central London.

Measles is one of the most infectious viral infections we know of, causing people to feel very unwell and have symptoms like a rash, a fever, a cough, and a runny nose.

Find out more about measles and what to do if you suspect you or your child has measles on our website: https://www.whittington.nhs.uk/mini-apps/news/newsPage.asp?NewsID=2483

From 1 April 2026, parking on the Whittington Hospital site will change.

Patient and visitor parking on site will no longer be available, except for blue badge holders and specific national exemption groups, including parents of children staying overnight and some frequent outpatient attenders.

Drop off and pick up will still be available for up to 20 minutes.

We are making this change because we are losing around 40 percent of our parking spaces due to redevelopment on land next to the hospital. We are not able to replace these spaces locally.

We understand this will be disappointing for some people. Full details about who can still park and how to arrange this are available on our website.

A big THANK YOU to our , India!

In April last year, India was placed in a medically induced coma for 10 days following a catastrophic brain injury.

She suffered from extreme cerebral oedema (brain swelling), two brain bleeds, flu, water on her lungs, and both conscious and unconscious seizures.

But against all odds, India woke up. The doctor who had helped save her life later told her it was the worst case of its kind he had seen in his entire career.

Now, having relearned how to walk, talk, eat and re-engage with life after losing 17 kg of muscle mass in the coma, India is determined to complete the London Marathon in April as a tribute to her recovery, and to fundraise for Whittington Health Charity.

Today, we welcomed BBC London Radio to Wood Green Community Diagnostic Centre (CDC) as part of the BBC’s NHS Day, offering a snapshot of a day in the life of NHS services across the country, with a focus on winter pressures, waiting lists, and patient and staff experience.

Live interviews throughout the morning showcased how community-based diagnostics are helping people access tests closer to home, while freeing up hospital capacity for more urgent and complex care. The coverage also highlighted patient experiences. We heard from Rosa, who was using our Wood Green CDC for the first time and noted the significant time saved by attending our community site, compared with the many hours it would have taken her to travel to a hospital site and be seen there

Located in the heart of Wood Green, our CDC provides hundreds of diagnostic appointments each week in a familiar and accessible setting. This supports earlier diagnosis, reduces hospital visits, means less travelling for local communities, and helps maintain patient flow at our hospital sites, particularly during the increased pressures that winter brings.

A huge thank you to our CDC team, and to the BBC for highlighting the vital role our community diagnostic centre plays across the NHS and in supporting our communities.

𝐄𝐱𝐜𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐧𝐞𝐰𝐬!!!
We have shared the first images of our future maternity and neonatal unit at Whittington Health.

The redevelopment will create calm, light-filled spaces designed for labour, birth and neonatal care. Every room on Labour Ward will have its own en-suite bathroom, supporting privacy and comfort.

The plans include a larger neonatal unit, bringing specialist care together in one modern space.

Families will also see a brighter maternity entrance and a redesigned triage area.

This work is supported by £60 million investment in maternity and neonatal services.

Care will remain open throughout construction, with personalised birth plans continuing as normal.

You can view the images on our dedicated page - check our comment for the link.
