About our paediatric services
HCA UK offers the full breadth of children’s services across each of our paediatric sites, delivered by leading consultant paediatricians and an expert team of healthcare professionals.
The world-class, complex medical care and surgery we provide is supported by our paediatric intensive care unit, where our clinical specialists have access to the most highly advanced medical technology. We diagnose and treat children and babies for a range of conditions, all the time ensuring families who visit us are made to feel as comfortable and reassured as possible, and that our young patients have access to many entertainment options.
Our children's unit is open at all times for elective and urgent admissions. We also run a fast-track referral service, enabling your child to have a same-day or next-day appointment with a general paediatrician. Please read on below to find out more.
