'''Brentford Workhouse Infirmary and West Middlesex Hospital''' (historic)

The Brentford Poor Law Union had a workhouse built in 1838 covering much land to the east of Twickenham Road in Isleworth. At the turn of the 20th century, this was totally rebuilt as an infirmary, with a much larger workhouse newly erected in the grounds.<ref name="workhouses.org.uk">[http://www.workhouses.org.uk/index.html?Brentford/Brentford.shtml The Workhouse – www.workhouses.org.uk] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090513101919/http://www.workhouses.org.uk/index.html?Brentford%2FBrentford.shtml |date=13 May 2009 }}</ref>  This infirmary functioned until 1920, when it became 'West Middlesex Hospital'. In 1931 it was upgraded to a county hospital, but in 1948 (under the NHS) 'County' was dropped from its title. It later became a [[teaching hospital]], and added 'University' to its title in 1980.<ref>[http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/hospitalrecords/details.asp?id=26&page=69 Hospital Records Details] The National Archives</ref> The Victorian buildings were closed in 2003, and redeveloped as housing, called Union Lane, after the original workhouse. The hospital was rebuilt on the adjacent site.<ref>{{cite web|title=Hospitals|url=http://www.derelictlondon.com/hospitals.html|publisher=Derelict London}}</ref>

'''[[West Middlesex University Hospital]]''' (NHS Trust)

This is a major acute hospital on the Twickenham Road, Isleworth, with 394 beds, providing the full range of services expected of a general hospital. It serves residents of both the London boroughs of [[London Borough of Hounslow|Hounslow]] and [[Richmond upon Thames|Richmond]]. As a university hospital it is affiliated with [[Imperial College London]]. A programme of building, renovation and modernisation in recent years has resulted in the hospital offering modern facilities.

''' Percy House Auxiliary Military Hospital''' (historic)

Within the old union workhouse complex stood a school, facing Twickenham Road, called Percy House – Percy being the surname of the dukes of Northumberland. Owing to its gradual disuse as a school it was adapted to function as a military hospital during [[World War I]] of 1914–18. From 1915 onwards it treated some 5,000 war-wounded soldiers, and ceased operation at the end of 1918.<ref>{{cite web |title=Percy House Auxiliary Military Hospital |url=http://ezitis.myzen.co.uk/percyhouse.html |website=Lost Hospitals of London |access-date=22 February 2019}}</ref> Among the VAD nurses was [[Sophia Duleep Singh]]. The building was demolished in 1978.<ref name="workhouses.org.uk"/>

'''Mogden Isolation Hospital''' (historic)

For nearly a hundred years an isolation hospital existed on the south side of Mogden Lane, which runs west from Twickenham Road. Opened in 1897, Mogden Isolation Hospital was renamed 'South Middlesex Fever Hospital' in 1938 but continued under local authority control. When the National Health Service was formed it became, in 1948, simply [[South Middlesex Hospital]]. It closed in 1991.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/hospitalrecords/details.asp?id=177&page=55|title=The National Archives - Search the archives - Hospital Records- Details|website=www.nationalarchives.gov.uk|access-date=3 April 2018}}</ref>
