About Child Health, MPhil - at University of Liverpool

Women and Children’s Health research in Liverpool has an international reputation for excellence. The Department of Women’s and Children’s Health (http://www.liv.ac.uk/obchildhe/) incorporates obstetrics, gynaecology, neonatology and medical and surgical paediatrics.

The Department offers some of the most extensive facilities for research in this area in Europe, providing excellent bases for patient-orientated translational and clinical research. Expertise in Women’s Health is based in Liverpool Women’s Hospital NHS Foundation Trust; expertise in Children’s Health is based in purpose built accommodation at the Royal Liverpool Children’s Hospital at Alder Hey.
