The Paediatric department is based in the newly built state of the art Children and Young Peoples Rainbow Centre. The department is one of the busiest in and around London.

The Centre houses the Children's Outpatients, Ambulatory/Day Care and inpatient bays and cubicles. There are 2 fully equipped high dependency beds which provide NCPAP to children with respiratory insufficiency and stabilisation of sick children. We are a level 1 shared care oncology centre working closely with our primary treatment centres of UCLH and GOSH. We have large cohorts of children and young people with chronic health issues such as Hemoglobinopathies and Diabetes Mellitus in the borough of Newham requiring care through the Centre. We work closely with our tertiary centres and colleagues in adult care to ensure a smooth transition.
