HOSPITALS
Good liaison exists with hospitals in the Borough and the many situated in neighbouring
boroughs, but caring for the citizens of Bexley.
In the three hospitals receiving maternity cases, the Deputy Medical Officer of Health and
Senior Area Nursing Officer attend the maternity liaison committee.
The following hospitals are situated in the Borough:
Bexley & Welling Hospital, Upton Road, Bexleyheath
Bexley Maternity Hospital, Erith Road, Bexleyheath
Russell Stoneham Maternity Hospital, Perry Street, Crayford
Erith & District Hospital, Park Crescent, Erith
Hainault Maternity Hospital, Lesney Park Road, Erith
Queen Mary's Hospital, Sidcup
The hospitals adjoining the Borough are:
Brook General Hospital, Shooters Hill Road, S.E.18.
Joyce Green Hospital, Dartford.
The Memorial Hospital, Shooters Hill, S.E.18
St. Nicholas Hospital, Tewson Road, S.E.18.
West Hill Hospital, Dartford.
In addition, the following teaching hospitals receive the bulk of referrals from this Borough:
Guy's Hospital, Newcomen Street, S.E.1.
King's College Hospital, Denmark Hill, S.E.5.
Detailed paediatric assessment is at present carried out at Guy's Hospital (Newcomen House).
The Paediatrician at the Brook Hospital hopes that an assessment centre will be equipped at
the Brook Hospital in the next year. This will enable Medical Officers in the Department to
work in close co-operation with a multidisciplinary team. Parents will in this way save long
journeys to Guy's Hospital and benefit from on-going guidance and help by one team.
