If you’re coming to Sheffield Children’s for an outpatient appointment at any of our sites, staying as an inpatient or visiting the Emergency Department or as a visitor to these areas, we are working hard to make sure everyone is safe and looked after.
Update on 5 January 2020:
Sheffield Children’s is open and we are continuing to work hard to ensure it is safe for patients and their families to come to us.
Please continue to come to booked appointments or scheduled surgery. If anything changes, we will be in touch with you directly.
Our Emergency Department is also open if any child or young person aged 16 or under needs urgent medical care.
When you come to Sheffield Children’s please remember:
If you have any questions about your appointment, please call the number on your appointment letter.
Here are some of the ways we are helping keep patients and parents or carers safe when coming to Sheffield Children’s:
If you or your household are isolating due to COVID (this could be due to symptoms, instruction from schools, workplaces, Test and Trace, or isolating after travel to any of the areas not on the travel corridor list) please let us know and we can rearrange any face to face appointments or surgery.
However, if you or your child needs emergency care at any time do not hesitate to seek help.
Find the latest information on when you need to self-isolate here and information on travel here.

Sally Shearer, Director of Nursing at Sheffield Children’s said: “We understand patients and families may be anxious about coming for an appointment or to the hospital during this time and we want to reassure them we are doing everything we can to make sure our spaces are clean, safe and socially distanced as well as providing our staff with necessary PPE and our patients with face coverings. Staff across the Trust are on hand to support any patient who needs our care, whether it’s an emergency, planned appointment or elective surgery, so please don’t hesitate to come to us and seek medical help when it is needed.”
