Introduction

At Sheffield Children’s NHS Foundation Trust we are building the National Centre for Child Health Technology.

The National Centre for Child Health Technology (NCCHT) will be a world-class facility on the Sheffield Olympic Legacy Park. It will bring people together to work in a way that has never been seen before,  all under one roof here in South Yorkshire.

The National Centre will focus on addressing some of the biggest health challenges of our time: obesity, mental health problems, long-term conditions, health inequalities, disabilities and cancer.

Most importantly, the Centre will be powered by the needs of our children and young people and their families – they are at the heart of all we do.

“Children are 25% of the population and 100% of the future.”

“They will be the leaders, parents and workforce of the future and the people who drive change. For them to have the best chance at doing that we must improve children’s health and healthcare now.

“We are excited about the ways the NCCHT is going to change young people’s experience of healthcare through developing the most advanced health technology in the world.”
