Joanna Lumley to Open Chelsea and Westminster's Big Day


Everyone welcome to Fulham Road hospital's open day on June 14

Chelsea and Westminster Hospital say they are thrilled thrilled to announce that actress Joanna Lumley will be attending its open day, which is taking place on Saturday June 14 at the main hospital site on the Fulham Road.

Joanna will open the event at 11am and the fun will continue until 3pm, featuring all the popular stands and behind-the-scenes tours from previous years.

The theme of this year’s event is “Keeping you well” and the hospital say they will be asking for opinions on their public health strategy and offering advice on keeping healthy and well and out of hospital.

Healthcare professionals will once again be running health MOTs where you can get a quick and easy check-up and advice on how to lead a healthy lifestyle, with everything from help to stop smoking to tips on eating well.

The Teddy Bear Hospital will be back once again and there will be many other fun and educational activities for children and families to enjoy.

Chelsea and Westminster's charities will also have their own stands where you can find out about their latest fundraising campaigns and the cutting edge equipment for which they are raising money.

There will also be a variety of other stands from sexual health to maternity and pharmacy to end of life care and the back office teams will also be around and will be showing visitors what it takes to keep such a huge and busy organisation running 24/7.

Foundation Trust Governors will be available throughout the day to speak to you about your local hospital and the work they do representing patients and our local community.

If you are interested in becoming more involved and finding out more about Chelsea and Westminster Hospital you can sign up to become a Foundation Trust member. There will be goody bags for everyone who signs up on the day.
