A state-of-the-art building will bring together paediatric specialties on one site for the first time. This will mean that young patients and families won’t have to travel between the Freeman Hospital and RVI for care and treatment.

The new centre will have three floors. It will include inpatient admissions, accommodation to support outpatient activity and more space for surgery. There will be a direct and enclosed link bridge from the existing Great North Children’s Hospital, making it easier to move between them.

Let them know what you think about the plans by 11 April at www.rvichildrensheartcentre.com
