hedgehogOur London Wildlife Hospital is the largest facility within the London Wildcare Trust. It’s now one of the largest and busiest professional wildlife facilities in the UK, treating thousands of sick, injured and orphaned animals and birds every year.

Our expertise is now sought after by a wide variety of organizations: we regularly provide specialist training and assistance to the police and fire services as well as other national animal groups and private vets.

The hospital is run by small specialist team who take charge of the nursing, rescue and rehabilitation of our patients.
They are ably supported by a band of more than 100 volunteer workers whose duties include the feeding and cleaning of our animals, general housekeeping and additional rescue cover.
At our hospital you’ll find a whole host of animals at various stages of care, including: foxes, badgers, deer, swans, geese, birds of prey and all types of birds. We also provide special care for smaller mammals, from bats to hedgehogs, from frogs to slow worms.
The hospital comprises several buildings incorporating four specialist wards for birds, waterfowl, mammals and orphans as well as:

bullet point a triage and critical care area
bullet point a digital x-ray and theatre room
bullet point a reception area with gifts and information
bullet point a busy laundry
bullet point night staff accommodation

Outside, there are various pens, aviaries as well as a workshop and large pond.

We are not routinely open to the public but we do hold three open days each year and host educational visits for schools, scout and guide groups etc in return for a small fee.

Our hospital is funded entirely by donations from the public. To find out how to support us or why not become a member to enjoy a whole range of special benefits.
