Children's Services

Welcome to Children's Services at Mid Cheshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust.

We provide a wide range of services for children and young people to treat most problems.

The service is based at Leighton Hospital, in Crewe, with a Children's Ward, Neonatal Unit and Outpatient Clinic. Additional Outpatient Clinics are held at Victoria Infirmary in Northwich and in Community Health Care Clinics. We also provide care for some children at home.

Paediatricians, Surgeons and Anaesthetists are supported by a team of children's nurses and specialist staff.
