Paediatric intensive care at The Portland Hospital
Expert care in state-of-the-art facilities
At The Portland Hospital, our paediatric consultants and specialist nurses are on hand 24 hours a day to give your child the highest level of one-to-one care while monitoring their progress.
They work closely with other consultants, nurses and allied health professionals, ensuring your child has the expertise of a whole team of healthcare professionals focused on their needs, and that you get the support you need, too.
We’ve cared for children with a range of conditions affecting their brain, spine or heart, as well as those who need support for conditions affecting multiple organs.
Your child will also have fast access to kidney, heart, and respiratory replacement technology.
Our Paediatric Intensive Care Unit at The Portland Hospital has nine beds, each providing Level 3 intensive care, which is the highest level of critical care offered.

Accessing private health care
Self-pay
You don’t need health insurance to be seen quickly. If you’re looking for a diagnosis or treatment for your child and don’t want to wait, all of our private healthcare services – from private GP appointments through to surgery and aftercare – can be paid for as and when you need them.
And to give you peace of mind from the start, we’ll give you a clear and transparent quote outlining exactly what’s included in your self-pay package.
Your questions answered
Pick-up and drop-off options: Visitors can pick up and drop off patients at the main entrance. No parking is allowed as the driveway is for emergency vehicle access.
Local parking: There’s no on-site parking and street parking isn’t permitted on a single yellow line between Monday and Saturday, from 8.30am to 6.30pm. However, national and private car parks are available nearby. Please contact the admissions team if you need help to find a local car park near to the hospital.
Disabled parking: Westminster Council operates a small number of disabled parking bays near the hospital, available to Blue Badge holders for up to four hours. The nearest one is on the corner of Bolsover Street, next to Tesco Express.
At The Portland Hospital, we have open visiting. However, we recommend that visitors leave by 10pm. If your child’s staying overnight, this gives both parents and child the chance to settle for the night.
Should you wish to stay overnight with your child, you can (in fact, we actively encourage this). We can provide you with a bed for one parent.
Of course. You’re very welcome to go to the anaesthetic room, where you can stay until your child’s asleep. At that point, the nurse will accompany you back to your room.
