Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust operates Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and West Middlesex University Hospital (since 1 September 2015).[1] The Foundation Trust was created on 1 October 2006.[2] The Trust's chief executive is Lesley Watts[3] and its chairman is Sir Thomas Hughes-Hallett.[4]
The Trust also manages a number of highly specialised sexual health clinics at 56 Dean Street and Dean Street Express in Soho, 10 Hammersmith Broadway (formerly West London Centre for Sexual Health[5] at Charing Cross Hospital) and John Hunter Clinic at St Stephen's Centre.[6]
Brian Eno has volunteered to help transform the casualty department. He is to refine the A&E’s acoustics. He is one of several artists backing a £600,000 appeal by Chelsea and Westminster Health Charity to provide visual and aural features. Appeal patron Hugh Grant, who lives near the hospital, said: "The charity is working with artists and designers to do clever and cunning things with lighting, with sound and with the design."[7]
As of 2018, the trust employs 6,339 staff.[8]
