Talk:Northwick Park Hospital

message: I don't think MBRZ48's edit is an improvement. 
Saying that the hospital is in the north west corner of Brent ignores that fact that Northwick Park: 
1. is on the border of the boroughs of Brent and Harrow;                         
2. is only a short walk from Harrow town centre;                        
3. receives funding from both NHS Brent and NHS Harrow;                   
4. has a significant number of patients from the borough of Harrow.

I propose that we revert to the previous edit. What do others think? Headhitter (talk) 22:21, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: One of my kids was also born at NPH, and the birth certificate shows Brent.  Also, if you look at Google maps for Harrow and Brent respectively, both clearly show the hospital being in Brent, albeit only just (the boundary abuts the hospital site on two sides).  I've edited the article accordingly, and hopefully we can now draw a line under this - there really shouldn't be any confusion or contest regarding something like this, the hospital is where it is, as is the borough boundary! :) DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:54, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

text: I have adjusted the article to show it as being in Harrow per the discussion above. Dormskirk (talk) 18:49, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

text: It seems to me that if we are going to retain the bit "It is located off Watford Road in the London Borough of Brent" in the lead (which seems to be the issue in contention) then it should at least be cited. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 11:20, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

text: I agree and I have now added 3 citations to this as requested.  Hopefully this will resolve the understandable confusion over this.  I have definitely looked into this a lot as I recently had to get documents together for citizenship for another country.  In regards to the birth certificate, I guess this might depend on individual documents.  However mine states details of the Registrar but then also puts my 'Place of Birth' as being the London Borough of Brent.  I do believe, as Dormskirk notes, there may be confusion over reference to Watford Road as this I believe is in LB of Harrow.  A lot of London has these quirks, for example Brent Reservoir and Brent Cross are not in LB of Brent! AussieWikiDan (talk) 13:51, 4 January 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for that. Best wishes. Dormskirk (talk) 14:29, 4 January 2021 (UTC)

text: All the sources are from government websites. As stated before the hospital is in the boundaries of Harrow (the town) but LB of Brent is its authority/land owner. You can also go to the Mayor of London Planning Permission Map and it shows the hospital is in LB of Brent. Google Maps also shows this if you search 'London Borough of Brent'.

thread_title:  The hospital's location 

message: This article is woeful.  It reads as a half-hearted piece of publicity for a pretty ordinary hospital.  There is no understanding of the history of the establishment of the new hospital with the MRC-funded Clinical Research Centre.  What on earth is the "Clinical Research Council"?
