Everything about Charing Cross Hospital totally explained
Charing Cross Hospital is a hospital in
London,
England. It was established in 1823 as the West London Infirmary, and was originally located in Villiers Street, near
Charing Cross in the heart of the metropolis. It is now located several miles to the west of the city centre in the
London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham.
The institution had its origins in a meeting initiated by Dr
Benjamin Golding in
1818. The infirmary provided accommodation for twelve beds, and became known as Charing Cross Hospital in
1827. A new building was opened in Agar Street in
1834 with accommodation for twenty-two medical students, and was extended several times. After the second World War it was decided that the hospital should move out of central London, and in 1957 a link was proposed with Fulham and West London Hospitals. The new Charing Cross Hospital was opened in
1973 on Fulham Palace Road, on the site of the old Fulham Hospital.
It is one of the
Imperial College School of Medicine's
teaching hospitals and is part of the
Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust. It is a tertiary referral centre for Neurosurgery, and is a national centre of excellence for
gestational trophoblastic disease.
Originally supporting
Charing Cross Hospital Medical School,
Charing Cross and Westminster Medical School was formed in 1984 by the merger with
Westminster Hospital Medical School. In 1997, CXWMS merged with
Imperial College, London (whose medical department was at
St Mary's Hospital Medical School in Paddington), The National Heart & Lung Institute and the
Royal Postgraduate Medical School (at
Hammersmith Hospital) to create a large new institution,
Imperial College School of Medicine.
The Reynolds Building, which lies adjacent to the hospital within the campus, consists of a lecture theatre and various teaching rooms used by the Imperial College School of Medicine. In addition to this, it houses the Reynolds Bar, a centre for the various functions that the medical school holds.
