Alder Hey Children's Hospital

Alder Hey Children’s Hospital, located in Liverpool UK, is at the heart of Alder Hey and is one of Europe’s biggest and busiest children’s hospitals, where we treat everything from common illnesses to highly complex and specialist conditions.

We know that a children’s hospital is different and that our job is more than just treating an illness. To us, every child is an individual. As well as giving them the very best care, we set out to make them feel happy, safe and confident as they play, learn and grow. At Alder Hey, we are here to look after a child and their family and that includes mums, dads, brothers and sisters.

Alder Hey offers a number of specialist services and we are one of only two providers in the North West designated to receive the specialist children’s top-up to national tariff for this work. We are one of the two accredited major trauma centres for children in the North West and are also nationally commissioned as one of four epilepsy surgical centres, a service we provide in partnership with Manchester Children’s Hospital. As the regional cardiac surgical centre, we continue to lead in developing the cardiac network across the region to provide seamless care pathways for children with congenital heart problems. The Trust also is one of four commissioned paediatric national craniofacial units.

Alder Hey Children's Hospital is located in the United Kingdom (UK), which is outside of the European Union. Therefore, the Alder Hey Children's Hospital is a supporting partner of ERN CRANIO and engages in activities that they are considered an expert in.

Chris Parks is our center representative at this hospital and is involved in ERN CRANIO due to his expertise in craniofacial anomalies.
