Central Middlesex hospital is a teaching hospital of Imperial College London and part of the North West London Hospitals NHS Trust. This trust incorporates Northwick Park and St Mark's Hospitals in Harrow, Central Middlesex Hospital in Park Royal and outreach services based close to the local communities in Wembley, Willesden, Edgware, Stanmore and Harlesden.
There are some 340 beds on site comprised of general medicine, general surgery, urology including lithotripsy, orthopaedics, ENT, ophthalmology, oral surgery, obstetrics, gynaecology, cardiology and gastroenterology. The hospital has particular experience in the care of patients with conditions aggravated by deprivation, specifically TB, diabetes and coronary heart disease and is a leader in the research and treatment of sickle cell disease.
It has recently been rebuilt, with the old building being demolished to be replaced by a predominantly Outpatient focused building - ACAD and an inpatient facility BeCAD. The private wing of the hospital remains in its original building.
Keith Moon (The Who) was born here as his family lived in Wembley at that time.
The hospital featured in the film 28 Days Later, with the protagonist Jim waking up in a deserted ACAD.[citation needed]
