About

At Blackheath Hospital we have access to modern equipment and private facilities for patients in Greenwich, Lewisham and Bexley. The specialist facilities available at Blackheath, combined with the latest in technology and on-site support services, enable our consultants to undertake a wide range of procedures from routine investigations to complex surgery. Blackheath Hospital has 31 beds with all rooms offering the privacy and comfort of en-suite facilities, satellite TV and telephone. The hospital has 3 lamina flow theatres. There is a 2 bedded Enhanced Care Unit. We Hospital have recently invested £6.5 million into the hospital, to enhance the Outpateints, Wards and Physiotherapy departments along with a new look reception area. These facilities, combined with the latest in technology and on-site support services, enable our consultants to undertake a wide range of procedures from routine investigations to complex surgery. This is supported by caring and professional medical staff, with dedicated nursing teams and Resident Medical Officers on duty 24 hours a day, providing care within a friendly and comfortable environment. There is immediate access to nursing support via the call system. Our outpatient department has access for some specialties to 'same day' diagnostics, so all undertaken at one visit. There are few restrictions on visiting hours and visitors can join patients for morning coffee, lunch, afternoon tea or dinner. Menus change daily. Our supportive on-site Physiotherapy team are ready and willing to assist outpatients and recovering inpatients.
