More than a hospital
Welcome to Cambridge Children’s
More than a hospital...
We are seeking a visionary new approach to healthcare for young people. We will treat the whole child, not just illnesses or conditions, using all the talent available across the region.
Our visionary approach
Whole child
We will treat the whole child, not just illnesses or conditions, using all the talent available across the region. Delivering the right care for young people, in the right place at the right time, will vastly improve outcomes over their whole lifetime.
Mind and body
We are on the cusp of a revolution in health care. There is a growing scientific consensus that mental illness is strongly linked to physical factors, and that the traditional silos that exist between mental and physical health practice is failing patients.
Genomics
A Global Genome Institute embedded within the hospital will realise the enormous potential of genomic medicine. Cross-sector expertise and world-class research will search out the early origins of disease affecting both physical and mental health.
This is a landmark moment for children in the east of England, and together we can set a new standard for child health nationally and internationally.
