Who are we?

We are a busy neonatal unit and one of the two lead perinatal centres in the N.W London Perinatal Network and also the designated neonatal surgical referral unit for the sector.

Our critical care project is a state-of-the-art expansion and redevelopment of our adult and neonatal intensive care facilities at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital.

We have been working with our charity CW+ and a range of partners to design world-class intensive care units with optimal healing environments for patients and their families.

It will allow us to treat more critically babies every year, in world-class facilities which will benefit patients and their families.

This is one of our biggest redevelopments to date and it will significantly increase the future capacity in these areas, allowing for the treatment of more patients every year in state-of-the-art facilities.

We offer comprehensive neonatal training with emphasis on surgical neonates, multidisciplinary gastro-nutrition care and neuro-developmental outcomes of high risk babies.

Our unit has a busy high - risk obstetric service, we deliver and stabilise cardiac babies prior to transfer to the Royal Brompton Hospital and have 24 hour all - level paediatric surgical and Anaesthetics cover for the unit.

We provide services from two main hospitals, Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital, and a number of clinics across London and the South-East.

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