Other Opening Times at the Trust
Other clinical departments are open during normal office hours:
Ashford Health Centre
From 1st July 2009, the walk-in centre at Ashford Hospital became part of the new Ashford Health Centre, run by Greenbrook Healthcare, a GP-led organisation which already manages six practices in close-by Hounslow.
The new health centre employs four experienced GPs and has been integrated with the walk-in centre service. This means there will now be GPs working alongside experienced emergency nurse practitioners which will complement their role and offer an extended service for local people. Patients will continue to have timely access to the hospital’s diagnostic services, such as X-ray, ensuring a comprehensive local service.
