Bristol Royal Hospital for Children

Welcome to the Bristol Children’s Hospital website.

The Bristol Royal Hospital for Children (BRHC) provides a local service for Bristol children and a referral service for specialist care for families across the South-West and nationally.

The current building opened on the 22nd April 2001and was the first purpose-built children's hospital in the south-west. In April 2007, a further ward was opened to accommodate children’s services from Southmead, with the long-term aim of centralising all hospital services for children in Bristol at one centre of excellence.
