    Pioneering research is changing lives

    Mr Pankaj Chandak was recently reunited with a young patient whose life he helped save.

    His award-winning work in 3D printing guided a complex kidney transplant in 2016. Nearly a decade later, Lucy Boucher is thriving.

    Listening to you

    As part of the latest national survey, patients and parents have had their say on what they think of our children's services.

    Of those who took part, 100% of parents felt their child was well cared for in hospital with 97% of parents or carers said staff treated them with dignity and respect.
