A state-of-the-art health centre has opened its doors to provide patients from some of London’s top consultants.

The Elstree Outpatients and Diagnostics Centre in The Waterfront off Elstree Road opened with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Tuesday.

Leading specialists from The Wellington Hospital, London will be providing treatments for patients in and around north London and Hertfordshire as part of HCA Healthcare UK.

The £6 million investment will provide diagnostic services with the use of 3TMRI, X-ray and ultrasound equipment.

Patients will be able to access orthopaedic, gastroenterology, gynaecology and cardiology care at the new facility, as well as a pathology service to provide quick results for rapid diagnosis.

Services provided include consultations and treatments across a number of different specialties including cardiology, paediatrics, orthopaedics, spinal surgery and sports and exercise medicine.

Residents will be able to attend a free evening providing advice on foot and ankle injuries and conditions on Wednesday, July 26 at 6.30pm.

Consultant orthopaedic surgeon, Mr Andrew Goldberg, said: “The modern facilities and equipment on offer at the new centre represent a step-change in service provision in the area.

As a resident living in Radlett it’s an exciting prospect and I’m looking forward to bringing some of my services from The Wellington Hospital to treat local patients in Elstree.”

Chief Executive Officer of The Wellington Hospital, Sarah Fisher, said:

“We are proud to expand The Wellington Hospital’s campus in St John’s Wood to Elstree, which represents an important milestone for local health and care services in north London and Hertfordshire.

“Local neighbourhoods will be able to count on us as a local care provider that offers convenient access to a modern facility led by some of the country’s leading consultants.”
