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

The Rainbow center 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 center working closely with our primary treatment centers of UCLH and GOSH. We have large cohorts of children and young people with chronic health issues such as Haemoglobinopathies and Diabetes Mellitus in the borough of Newham requiring care through the Centre. We work closely with our tertiary centers and colleagues in adult care to ensure a smooth transition of care.
