West Heath Hospital

West Heath Hospital has its own multidisciplinary team including nurses, doctors, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, social workers, rehabilitation assistants, domestics and housekeepers. There is also provision for patients to access speech and language therapy, specialist nursing and dietetics.

 

Please note that we are in the process of updating the information contained in Ward Welcome Packs. We are not able to wash personal items of clothing. There are washing baskets or lockers in the patient’s room or bed area and it is important that relatives/friends check this regularly for dirty washing as this will have to be taken to be washed. The dirty washing will be placed in red (Alginate) bags that can be placed straight into a washing machine and will dissolve during the washing cycle. If there is a problem with washing personal items please speak to the Nurse in Charge.

 

The hospital has 173 parking spaces, with 17 places for blue badge holders and 1 charging point for electric vehicles.

Refurbishment update: summer 2025

Please be aware that West Heath Hospital is currently undergoing essential external refurbishment over the upcoming months which may impact your experience. This will include Ward 12 moving to Ward 14 during this time.

 
The aim of this is to improve the building's thermal performance and reduce the Trust's carbon footprint. Whilst we are working to ensure the disruption is kept to a minimum, we wanted to make you aware of the increased noise and activity that is expected during this period. There will also be reduced parking available during this period and the smoking shelter has been relocated.

 

If you have any concerns about this, please contact the Patient Experience team who can respond to your enquiry.
