Neonatal care in Liverpool is going through an exciting period of change with the £15 million development of the Liverpool Women's Hospital (LWH) site and the Liverpool Neonatal Partnership (LNP) with Alder Hey Children's Hospital (AHCH) to develop a single service across the city.

Our new £15m extension was completed in February 2020, providing a state of the art environment for the babies and families of Liverpool.
