Cambridge Children's Hospital Newsletter issue 4
Cambridge Children’s Hospital has launched a website to support its mission to provide care for children in a whole new way.

Progress update - Expert international team appointed to design Cambridge Children's Hospital.
Cambridge Children's Hospital Newsletter issue 2
Cambridge Children's is more than a hospital. It is a whole new way of treating children across the east of England.
We have spent the last 18 months working with partners across the region on plans for a specialist children’s hospital. Embedded with genomic and psychological research, it's a hospital we'll build from scratch designed to take care of the whole child integrating physical and mental health. We'll look at the whole picture, not just the illness. And we will lay healthy foundations for every child's whole life.
Cambridge Children's Hospital Newsletter issue 1
Just over a year ago, Matt Hancock, Secretary of State for Health and Social Care, committed £100 million of public funding for a purpose-built children’s hospital in Cambridge, serving the east of England region – currently the only region in the UK without one.
Cambridge Children's aspires to be more than a hospital. We are seeking a visionary new approach to healthcare for young people across the east of England. We will treat the whole child, not just illnesses or conditions, using all the talent available across the region.
