Paediatric research

Our Research department is part of the Merseyside and North Wales Medicine for Children Research Network.

Our portfolio of research covers all aspects of paediatrics such as diabetes, epilepsy, endocrinology, gastroenterology, asthma, allergy, renal and acute medicine. We are part of national randomised controlled trials and regional qualitative studies.

We believe that research is important in improving the healthcare of children and young people.

It is important that children, young people and their families are given the opportunity to take part in research that may benefit them and we are proud of the department’s ongoing involvement in research studies.

This is an example of one of the studies our patients took part in: Olivia, 5, joins UK search for best pneumonia treatment.
