About us
We are Imperial College Healthcare
We provide acute and specialist healthcare for over one million people every year.
We particularly serve the local communities in the eight boroughs that form the North West London Integrated Care System. Formed in 2007, we are one of the largest NHS trusts in the country, with more than 15,000 staff.
Our five hospitals in central and west London – Charing Cross, Hammersmith, Queen Charlotte’s & Chelsea, St Mary’s and The Western Eye – have a long track record in research and education, influencing care and treatment nationally and worldwide. We are developing a growing range of integrated and digital care services and offer private healthcare in dedicated facilities on all our sites, including at the Lindo Wing at St Mary’s Hospital.
Building better hospitals
All three of the Trust’s main sites are included in the Government’s New Hospital Programme. This includes a full rebuild of St Mary’s and major refurbishment and some new build at both Charing Cross and Hammersmith hospitals. A new Western Eye Hospital is expected to be incorporated into whichever is the most suitable of the developments.
