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.
