Alder Hey Children’s
NHS Foundation Trust
Inspired by Children
Professor Ian Lewis
Medical Director
Alder Hey Children’s NHS Foundation Trust is one of the leading children’s healthcare
providers in Western Europe. We have a national and international reputation and are one of
only a small number of trusts in the UK providing a comprehensive range of general and
specialist services exclusively for children and young people.
At Alder Hey we care for families. The teams are committed to improving outcomes and
patient experience and to working outside of our hospital environment alongside GPs and
community teams to help deliver care closer to home. We deliver care not only at our sites in
Liverpool and Merseyside but across an extensive footprint including the North West of
England, North Wales, Shropshire and the Isle of Man.
As Alder Hey looks to the future and the development of “Alder Hey in the Park”, a purpose
built paediatric hospital due for completion in 2015, we wish to continue to develop our vision
and plans in conjunction with those who use our services in order to provide truly excellent
and responsive care.
‘The Alder Hey Directory of Secondary Services’ is a reference tool for use by clinical
colleagues in general practice across the region to;
• show the full range of services that are available for direct referral from general practice.
• ensure patients are referred to the most appropriate consultant to address their clinical
need, supporting earlier diagnosis and treatment.
• share details of the clinical teams, how to access services and useful contact information.
I hope you will find the guide useful.
