Mount Vernon Hospital is one of two hospitals run by The Hillingdon Hospital Trust. Together with West Hertfordshire Hospital Trust and East and North Hertfordshire Trust it provides specialist non-surgical cancer services and a burns unit. The hospital does though provide a range of other clinical services.[1]
[edit] History
The hospital was founded in 1860 as The North London Hospital for Consumption and Diseases of the Chest in Fitzroy Square (St. Pancras) and moved in 1864 to Mount Vernon in Hampstead. The hospital moved to its current site in Northwood and the Hampstead building was then used by the Medical Research Council's National Institute for Medical Research.[2]
From 2008 a new treatment centre will provide day surgery facilities.[1]
