Children's services available at Spire Nottingham Hospital

Under 16s

Consultations and minor tests such as blood tests, ear suctions and cryotherapy are available for children under 16. If your child needs further interventional diagnostic tests or surgical treatment, your consultant will discuss this with you and can arrange this for your child at an alternative Spire Hospital or local NHS facility which offers a full service for children.

Young people aged 16 - 17 years who need further interventional diagnostic tests or surgical treatment will be risk assessed by a Registered Children’s Nurse to confirm that they can be treated as an adult here at Spire Nottingham Hospital.
