Paediatrics
Welcome to paediatrics at Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust, the UK's first academic health science centre (AHSC). We provide a wide range of specialist and general services for children in our local community and further afield. Our practice follows the principles of the children's national service framework, a set of standards published by the government for health and social services for children and young people. We aim to provide the best possible holistic services to infants, children and young people, whether they are acutely ill or living with a chronic condition.
Children and young people’s website
Our website for children and young people is designed to help our patients find out what to expect when they come to one of our hospitals. Thanks to a generous charitable donation we have been able to create a comprehensive, friendly website offering a large choice of informative and entertaining video clips, all designed for children and young people.
