Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital is the largest single-site children’s hospital in country, caring for over 200,000 patients each year. The hospital is a region-wide facility, treating patients from across the North West and beyond.
In addition, the hospital is a national centre of excellence in the following areas:
- bone marrow transplantation, for which it is the main centre outside of London
- burns treatment - the hospital houses the largest paediatric burns unit in the country
- critical care – the hospital’s paediatric intensive care unit is the largest in the country, looking after patients ranging from newborn babies to 16-year-olds.
The support of Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital Charity means that the hospital can provide additional support to patients and their families, providing resources that make life a little easier when they are facing prolonged stays in hospital or frequent visits.
One of these patients is Charlie from Barrow-in-Furness who at just 15 months pulled a scalding pan of hot water over himself, burning 10% of his body.
After being blue-lighted to Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital, Charlie received a skin graft and an intense course of treatment followed.
Charlie’s mum, Michelle says:
“Charlie was in Royal Manchester Children’s Hospital for three weeks and I cannot fault the care and support both he and we as a family received. Charlie looks as amazing as he does today because of the doctors and nurses that treated him and I will be forever grateful for everything they did.”
