Bupa Cromwell Hospital: Paediatric care and treatment in London

The well experienced team of paediatric specialists and clinical support staff at the Bupa Cromwell Paediatric Centre provide a wide range of services for children of all ages, from simple daycase procedures to the more complex procedures now practiced in paediatric medicine and surgery.

The Paediatric Centre is made up of a dedicated child friendly paediatric ward (Starfish Ward) with integral operating theatre (Rainbow Theatre), and a dedicated Paediatric Outpatient Department. Plus, Bupa Cromwell is one of only two private London hospitals to have a Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU).

The first floor Paediatric Outpatient Department offers daily clinics for a wide range of specialities for the new born baby through to teenagers. Their Paediatricians are available for consultations six days a week and provide a 24hr on call service.

The Paediatric Centre is equipped with a secure access system to ensure the safety of the children at all times.

Clinical expertise

The Centre is led by Professor Edward Howard, MS FRCS(Eng) FRCS(Ed) and the experienced team of dedicated paediatric consultants is drawn from London's principal teaching hospitals. These are supported by a team of Paediatric Fellows providing on site medical cover 24 hrs a day.

The team includes: specialist children's nurses; a paediatric play specialist; dieticians, physiotherapists; occupational therapists; speech and language therapists and interpreters.

Paediatric consultants

Many of Bupa Cromwell Hospital's paediatricians are dedicated paediatric specialists which means that they only treat children and not adults. They also have a Community Paediatrician who can see children for a variety of general childhood ailments and can refer on as appropriate to one of the Paediatric Consultants.
