Central Middlesex is part of the North West London Hospitals NHS Trust, along with Northwick Park hospital. It is a small district general hospital of 206 beds situated in Acton with a diverse ethnic population.

The anaesthetic service is delivered by nine general consultants, 3 ITU consultants, 6 staff grades and senior clinical fellows with 5-6 trainees (CT1-ST4) from the Imperial school.

Central Middlesex Hospital is primarily the elective site and hence trainees are rotated 3 monthly between the two hospitals to maximise training opportunities.
