Queen's Hospital
Summary
Queen's Hospital is a large teaching hospital in Romford in the London Borough of Havering. It was built on the site of the former Oldchurch Park, a short distance south of the town centre. It is run by Barking, Havering and Redbridge University Hospitals NHS Trust.
The hospital was procured under a private finance initiative (PFI) contract to replace Harold Wood Hospital, Oldchurch Hospital, Rush Green Hospital and St George's Hospital, Havering in 2004. It was designed by Jonathan Bailey Associates and built by Bovis Lend Lease at a cost of £312 million on Rom Valley Way, near the now demolished Romford Ice Arena. Construction was completed in October 2006.
The hospital comprises four, circular, five-storey buildings, connected and surrounded by a wider two-storey building. The ground and first floor levels generally consist of diagnostic treatment, whilst the upper levels consist of inpatient services and wards. Facilities include an accident and emergency (A&E) department, hyper-acute stroke unit (HASU), birthing centre, renal dialysis unit, specialist neuroscience centre, 16 operating theatres and a helipad.
The hospital's A&E department treats around 150,000 patients every year.
In July 2013 the Care Quality Commission issued a formal warning about the hospital, particularly for the accident and emergency department. In March 2017, after receiving a positive review from the care quality commission, the hospital was taken out of special measures and praised by the commission for its work in a number of areas.
The hospital serves as a teaching hospital for medical students from the American University of the Caribbean and Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry. The Leslie Oliver Oration is held annually.
London Buses routes 5, 103, 128, 174, 175, 193, 294, 365, 496, 498 and 499 serve the hospital. The nearest railway station is Romford on the Great Eastern Main Line and the nearest London Underground station is Elm Park on the District line.
