You can see behind the scenes at West Middlesex Hospital's annual open day next month.

Guided tours of its operating theatres and the hi-tech simulation centre used to train medics, among other usually off-limits areas, will be available on Saturday, September 13.

There will also be free health checks and advice, and family entertainment, including quizzes and competitions, between 11am and 3pm at the hospital in Twickenham Road, Isleworth.

Other attractions include the chance to sample the food served up to patients and to meet healthcare professionals to talk about a career in the NHS.

More than 2,000 people attended last year's open day at the hospital, which celebrated the 10th anniversary of the new building.
