Purley War Memorial Hospital
Following an £11.15m refurbishment, Purley War Memorial Hospital reopened in 2013. This historic building now houses a modern outpatient facility.
It is Croydon Health Services NHS Trust's satellite hospital located in the south of Croydon, offering services that do not require an overnight stay, as the hospital does not have in-patient beds.
Our Purley site is not an Urgent Treatment Centre, therefore if you have a life threatening injury or condition that requires urgent medical attention you should attend the Emergency Department at Croydon University Hospital.
You can visit our GP Hub for minor injuries, a full list can be found our on GP Hub page.
