Children and babies

If your child is struggling with a health condition, you can choose to see a consultant privately at Spire Healthcare. Our hospitals work together to offer a full range of paediatric services from initial consultation and diagnosis through to treatment and surgery.

At Spire Manchester Hospital, we provide paediatric outpatient care to children from birth. For children requiring paediatric theatre procedures, we offer day case care from the age of 12 months and overnight care to children from three years old. However, please note for ENT patients only - we now offer overnight care from the age of 12 months (>10kg).

It can be a worrying time if you are concerned about your child’s health. At Spire Manchester Hospital we can arrange fast access to specialised consultants for a range of conditions for children across Manchester, Cheshire and throughout the North West. We have also treated a number of international patients who require specialised care.

• For children requiring surgery, you’re able to bring them into hospital for a pre-admission visit, so they feel more familiar with the hospital and can meet the nursing team
