This houses A&E, critical care, operating theatres, clinical imaging, outpatients and patient suites. The hospital is a teaching hospital of Imperial College School of Medicine and a member of the Imperial College Academic Health Sciences Partnership.〔() Imperial College website〕 It also has an active volunteer program. Undergraduate students from the American university (College ) are also allowed to complete internships at WMUH. December 2011: West Middlesex was awarded full accreditation by UNICEF as a Baby Friendly hospital, the first London hospital to achieve this award. The Baby Friendly Initiative accredits maternity and community facilities which adopt internationally recognised standards of best practice. In September 2012 the Trust concluded that it was not viable for it to apply for NHS Foundation Trust status and decided to seek a potential partner. As of 1 September 2015, West Middlesex University Hospital is part of Chelsea and Westminster Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.chelwest.nhs.uk/about-us/news/hospitals-join-forces-in-bigger-better-organisation )〕 Under the North West London strategy, ''Shaping a healthier future'', the Trust was designated as a major hospital in 2013. The Trust was highlighted by NHS England as having 3 of 148 reported never events in the period from April to September 2013. ==History== The hospital opened in 1894 as the Brentford Workhouse Infirmary. In about 1920 the hospital became the West Middlesex Hospital. When the original buildings were no longer suitable for the needs of the hospital, the hospital was redeveloped. Approximately half of the original site was sold, allowing refurbishment of two remaining buildings at the east of the site. The new building, constructed between 2001 and 2003, was funded by a Private Finance Initiative. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「West Middlesex University Hospital」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
