Alder Hey’s Surgical Neonatal Appeal

Our family-centred Surgical Neonatal Intensive Care Unit will be the first of its kind in the UK, providing pioneering, world-leading neonatal surgical care, right here in the heart of the North West.

We are delighted to have secured nearly £2.5 million in donations and pledges towards our £3 million appeal target. This will be used to fund enhancements to our innovative new unit which are above and beyond core NHS provision and will keep families together when they need it most.

We are nearing completion of the underground service investigations after which the main build will begin. Behind the scenes, we have 23 new neonatal nurses working across Alder Hey and Liverpool Women’s to prepare for the new Unit and improved ways of working. Use of new, state of the art equipment will begin in the next 6 – 9 months to test and learn in the run up to completion, including an innovation project to finalise the use of technology within the new unit, working closely with clinicians.
