Sheffield Children's Trust is an NHS hospital trust mainly providing healthcare for children in Sheffield and the surrounding area of South Yorkshire. A third of patients come from the outside Sheffield, from all parts of the country, but especially from Barnsley, Rotherham, Doncaster, Derbyshire Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire. [3]

It has a turnover of £70 million a year, and over a year sees 140,000 Outpatients, 20,000 Inpatients/day cases, 43,426 Accident & Emergency attendances, 12,670 Mental Health assessments and attendances and 28,874 Therapy assessments and attendances. [3] The Trust employs around 3,200 people and also provides clinical education for medical students from the University of Sheffield and for nurses from Sheffield Hallam University.

Although the trust itself was only formed on 1 November 1991 when operation was transferred from the now-dissolved Sheffield Health Authority, it runs the Sheffield Children's Hospital which has been providing care for the children and families of Sheffield and surrounding areas for over 125 years. It is one of only four specialist NHS Trusts in England providing care exclusively to children and young people, and has many other sites in the city. The Trust's charity, Sheffield Children's Hospital Charity, helps to raise funds to support and enhance the services at the Trust. The charity's patrons include Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Jessica Ennis-Hill and England Cricketer Joe Root. Previous patrons include Michael Palin, Lee Westwood and Michael Vaughan.
