Eye accident and emergency Service information
We are a specialist eye hospital with an A&E department. Our A&E department is based on the ground floor and is open from 8am to 8:30pm.
Our facilities include outpatients, inpatients, day case and inpatient surgery, as well as the eye accident and emergency service. This is the only service of its kind in west London which provides emergency eye treatment for both adults and children.
If you have an eye emergency, you can walk into the Western Eye Hospital and present yourself to reception. You will then be seen by a specialist triage nurse so that the urgency of the situation can be assessed.

CQC rating
As a Trust we are monitored against national standards and targets known as performance indicators. They provide an overview of how successful we are as an organisation at delivering healthcare. They help us monitor waiting times, safety and patient experience.
Our hospitals are also regularly inspected by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) who award ratings against five quality domains: safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led. On On 7 January 2015 the Trust was given the overall CQC rating:
Our most recent inspection report dated 23 July 2019 has seen improved quality of care across a range of services that were inspected back in February 2019, including London’s first outstanding rating for maternity care at both Queen Charlotte’s and Chelsea And St Mary's hospitals.
