Wirral Women and Children's Hospital is located on the Arrowe Park Hospital campus, in Upton, Wirral, Merseyside and was founded following a redevelopment of the maternity and gynaecology wing of Arrowe Park Hospital. Although now considered a separate hospital, it remains managed by Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust.

History

The original maternity and gynaecology unit was opened by, and dedicated to, the Duchess of Westminster. [2] Phased redevelopment work that would see the children's wards and outpatient department move from the main hospital building over to the maternity and gynaecology annexe began in 2009. [3] In March 2011, the remodelled Wirral Women and Children's Hospital was officially reopened by the Countess of Wessex. [4]

In 2012, the Wirral Women and Children's Hospital featured in the BBC Two documentary series The Midwives. [5]
