THE UNIT

The Portland Hospital

For those many spinal conditions that can affect children, whether at birth or developing later in childhood, all surgical treatment is based at The Portland Hospital, one of the UK's largest, private children's units. The Portland Hospital is committed to excellence in healthcare for children. Their specialist paediatric unit is available for babies and children up to 16 years of age who require treatment and support on an inpatient, outpatient or day care basis.

We are proud to be able to offer a premier service and conduct all of the care a child will need from diagnosis, through to surgery and aftercare. Utilising the latest medical technology, our paediatric specialties include gastroenterology, orthopaedics, urology, neurology and ENT with treatment available for routine and complex conditions.

The Portland Hospital's consultants are recognised amongst the world's leading clinicians, working also at prominent teaching hospitals such as Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children, Guy's & St Thomas' and University College Hospital, London. Our multidisciplinary team includes registered children's nurses, play specialists, physiotherapists, radiographers and interpreters to support your child's treatment and recovery.
