Here is a more in-depth look at how your support will help to fund research, innovation and education projects at Alder Hey.
These vital projects could have far reaching benefits for families across the UK and beyond.
Developing better, safer medicines and treatments for children
Most medicines used in the UK and internationally have not been developed specifically for children, even though children and young people are the most frequent users of healthcare in the UK. We are working to develop effective, safer and more appropriate medicines specifically designed for children, and which are easy for children to take (for example, syrups that taste good).
The research we undertake is nationally and internationally recognised. Our track record has led to Alder Hey being the home of children’s research for the whole country and we host a number of centres of excellence, meaning our research is the very best. Our research crosses many specialisms including childhood infections, respiratory disorders, cancer, neuro-disability, international health and musculoskeletal diseases.
