"Alder Hey is somewhere where children & families come first. It is fantastic to work with the best group of clinicians, nurses, managers & staff I have come across in the NHS & abroad. The combination of high quality clinical services, strong national & international relationships, strong links with patient & parent support groups, research and innovation is an example for the NHS in general."
