Hospital Role
NPH is primarily a National Health Service (England) (NHS) hospital, although it has some private funding units. It is part of The North West London Hospitals NHS Trust.
St. Mark's Hospital, a national centre of gastrointestinal medicine is based at the same site, as is the British Olympic Association's Olympic Medical Institute.
The hospital has its own hospital radio station, Radio Northwick Park.
Northwick Park is also one of the few hospitals in England to have a Paternoster lift transport system. This was featured in the film The Omen. The system is controlled by smart card access for staff only.
Northwick Park is also a teaching hospital for students of Imperial College School of Medicine.

Famous quotes containing the words hospital and/or role:
“The sun his hand uncloses like a statue,
Irrevocably: thereby such light is freed
That all the dingy hospital of snow
Dies back to ditches.”
—Philip Larkin (1922–1986)
“Today, only a fool would offer herself as the singular role model for the Good Mother. Most of us know not to tempt the fates. The moment I felt sure I had everything under control would invariably be the moment right before the principal called to report that one of my sons had just driven somebody’s motorcycle through the high school gymnasium.”
—Mary Kay Blakely (20th century)
