Located in the historic city of Liverpool, we have a national and international reputation for Outstanding care and are one of only a small number of NHS Trusts in the United Kingdom to provide a comprehensive range of specialist services exclusively for children and young people.
To us, every child is an individual. As well as providing them with the very best care, we aim to help them feel happy, safe and confident as they play, learn and grow. We care for their families as well as for them, and our commitment extends beyond medicine and surgery into supporting their physical and emotional wellbeing.
Above everything, children and young people stand at the heart of all we do, driving us to deliver the best care than we can, every time, and to develop new thinking that will change lives for generations to come.
