Who we are and where to find us
Our children's and young people's service (also called paediatrics) looks after babies, children and teenagers. Young people can choose to go to an adult ward if they prefer.
We have an experienced and friendly team of specialist children's doctors (paediatricians) nurses, therapists, healthcare assistants and other staff who provide care for our young patients and their families.
Whether you're coming to hospital for the first time or you are already a patient, we have lots of information about our services and what to expect
