It is one of only four stand-alone paediatric trusts in the UK and is staffed by more than 4,000 employees. We offer 20 specialist services including being the designated national centre for head and face surgery and a Centre of Excellence for children with cancer, heart, spinal and brain disease. It is a teaching hospital and trains 550 medical and 400 nursing students each year. Alder Hey hosts the UK Medicines for Children Research Network (MCRN) with a Department of Health grant worth £22m and is also the lead centre for the Cheshire, Merseyside and North Wales MCRN.

The new hospital is built in Springfield Park, next door to the old site. The new Alder Hey sits right in the heart of the park, surrounded by green space which can be seen from almost every window.
