Heart of Harefield : The Story of the Hospital

Product Information

During World War I, Harefield Park was used as an Australian military hospital. The bodies of the servicemen who died there were buried with full military honours within the graveyard of St Mary's Church; the area, which also included the ground where the Harefield Place building stood, became a military cemetery. [6] Judge Sir Richard Newdigate (1602–1678), lived in Harefield, and was buried in Harefield parish church, where a monument was raised to his memory Heart surgeons are performing more and more procedures that are less invasive; on the other hand, interventional cardiologists are undertaking more procedures in the catheter lab.

The topic of ULEZ is like blood in the water to people in Harefield, with Mr Gupta’s account prompting residents coming in for a lunchtime coffee to give their two pence on the matter. One resident launched into the conversation, saying: “I don’t know anyone that thinks ULEZ is a good idea. Thomas Wakley (1795–1862), medical and social reformer, and founder of The Lancet, lived at Harefield Park, 1845–1856; he has a memorial stone in the grounds of Harefield Hospital The resident added she fears what will come next after ULEZ. She said: “It's never going to stop here. We all know it's going to be pay-per-mile next. Look at how much money they spent putting all those cameras up, you think [ Transport for London ] put all of those up for a few non-compliant cars? Of course not."

Minimally invasive aortic valve replacement

And those against it are taking action. Cameras have been cut down, tipped over, covered and otherwise obstructed. Classically, the mitral valve is repaired by making a cut of between 20 to 25 centimetres through the breast bone. When I repair the mitral valve using minimally invasive techniques, I make a Sir Magdi Yacoub, consultant cardiothoracic surgeon at Harefield Hospital (1969–2002), carried out the first live lobe lung transplant, and went on to perform more transplants than any other surgeon in the world. By the end of the 1980s Harefield Hospital was the leading transplant centre. Magdi Yacoub was involved in the development of heart and heart-lung transplants.

Sergeant Robert Edward Ryder VC (1895–1978), who served in World War I in the Middlesex Regiment, was born and is buried in Harefield. A blue plaque on The Old Workhouse marks his birthplace.I believe we perform more minimally invasive cardiac procedures than anywhere else in the UK. Why minimally invasive? It is about a three to four minute drive from here but it’s all country roads. There are no pavements, you wouldn't be able to walk there, there are no buses, no public transport. My kids went to school out in the counties, there is no way I could have got them there without driving.” Private Cecil John Kinross VC (1896–1957), who distinguished himself at Passchendaele in World War I, was born in Harefield; he moved with his family in 1912 to Lougheed, Alberta. Royal Brompton & Harefield NHS Foundation Trust – and Harefield in particular – has been at the forefront of minimally invasive techniques, such as aortic and mitral valve repair surgery and replacement. A gold plaque in the Royal British Legion Hall honours the exceptional bravery of both Goodlake VC and Ryder VC. In 2011, Hillingdon Council erected a blue plaque in honour of the courage of Kinross VC at the place of his birth on the anniversary of his birthday, 17 February.
