 Plans are underway for a new medical centre at West Middlesex Hospital and now is your chance to find out more about it.

It will provide services, including clinical imaging, cancer daycare, renal dialysis and education and training.
Work on the ADC is expected to begin this month and will be completed by Autumn 2026.
You can find out more about it at a special engagement event at Isleworth Library, Twickenham Road on Tuesday, 19 March between 7- 8pm.
