Children's Hospital

The Oxford Children's Hospital is a very special place indeed. Built around the needs of children and their families, with all the clinical areas grouped together under one roof, it is bright and happy with indoor and outdoor play areas, sensory rooms and even a school.

What you may not know is that there wouldn't be a children's hospital in Oxford without charitable support.

Close to £15 million was raised to help create this very special place, and today, donations and fundraising continue to transform the care we are able to offer our young patients.

Our successful 10^th Anniversary £2 Million Appeal is now helping to fund the very best patient monitor systems across all hospital areas in the Trust that care for children, microbiology equipment to quickly diagnose meningitis in just two hours (rather than two days), and contributing towards the new parents' accommodation, currently being built.

All the funds that have been raised through this very special appeal will benefit children's care across Oxford University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, including the Children's Ward at the Horton General Hospital in Banbury, intensive care areas for newborns and children and children's services at the Nuffield Orthopaedic Centre.
