Every child deserves care that sees them as a whole person - not just a patient. Cambridge Children’s Hospital is making that vision a reality. This will be the first hospital in the world to fully integrate physical and mental health care at the bedside. It’s not just a new building - it’s a new way of caring.
Why This Hospital Matters
Children will receive physical and mental health support together, ensuring no part of their wellbeing is overlooked.
Early Detection and Personalised Treatment
With research embedded in the hospital, we’ll understand the early origins of disease and tailor treatments to each child - sometimes even preventing illness before it starts.
Care Close to Home
Families will stay connected to their local services, reducing travel and stress. Day-case facilities and digital links will make care more accessible and continuous.
Designed by Children, for Children
From outdoor courtyards to adaptable beds, every detail is shaped by young voices. This is a hospital that feels safe, familiar, and healing.
Spread over five floors, this unique facility will include:
108 inpatient beds
16 paediatric intensive care beds
42 day-case beds
7 operating theatres
imaging and diagnostics
a hospital school
5000 sq m research institute
Global Impact from a Regional Heart
As the first purpose-built children’s hospital in the East of England, it fills a vital gap in care - and through partnerships with Cambridge University and the NHS, it will shape child health worldwide.
Tickets are now selling well and we would love to see you on May 16th for this excellent cause.
All best wishes,
Claire
