The current building opened on 22 April 2001 and was the first purpose-built children's hospital in the South West. In April 2007, a further ward was opened to accommodate children's services from Southmead, and in May 2015 two specialist hospital services for children moved from Frenchay Hospital to create one centre of excellence in Bristol.

These pages are designed to provide you with useful information to help you during your stay with us.

We are proud to offer patients and families opportunities to take part in research. We may discuss research studies with you whilst you, or your child is, under our care. For more information on taking part in research please speak to your clinical team.

If you require the services of an interpreter during a hospital visit, the Trust has a team of interpreters whose services we can call upon. Depending on the circumstances, staff may also use a telephone interpreting service as an alternative.
