Open Day 2011
Chelsea and Westminster Hospital held its Open Day on Saturday 7 May 2011.
The event was the most exciting ever with fantastic prize draws where visitors won an Apple iPad, and iPod Shuffle, a bicycle and a Nintendo DSi. Our younger vistors also had the chance to enjoy some of the regular attractions including the ever-popular Teddy Bear Hospital.
The theme of this year's Open Day was ‘Your hospital, your health, your say’ which reflects our view that that Chelsea and Westminster belongs to all who use its services, work here or live locally. For the first time ever visitors could have a mini Health MOT in our brand new Lower Ground Floor Outpatients Department and test the innovative self-check-in facility.
The event was made possible by the generous support of our Foundation Trust Council of Governors which includes representatives of patients, members of the public and our staff. We would like to thank our Governors for their support.
