Hot topic: Charing Cross hospital
Tell us what you think of major service changes taking place at Charing Cross hospital
Hammersmith & Fulham Council is urging borough residents to join it in campaigning to save Charing Cross hospital and to prevent it being downgraded in a series of service reorganisations.
Since it opened its doors in 1973 Charing Cross Hospital has served the whole of west London as a teaching hospital with medical students on site and been 'far more than a local community hospital'.
Now that expertise and history is under threat.

Absolutely agree. Charing Cross is a fantastic hospital with very high standard of care, at the forefront of medical technology and life saving equipment. My son was saved there at 3.5 years old after falling under a car. I have just had a laparoscopy on my gall bladder. I cannot believe what a high standard it is. It is clean, friendly and has super nursing and consultant staff.
