Children'S Hospital For Wales

The Children's Hospital for Wales, also known as the Children's Hospital, Cardiff is a children's hospital in Cardiff, Wales. It is situated on the site of the University Hospital of Wales in the Heath area of the city. The hospital opened in two phases. The first phase opened in 2005 and the second phase opened in 2015. Each floor has its own distinct artwork theme. The hospital serves Cardiff as well as South, Mid and West Wales. The hospital is expected to admit 23, 000 inpatients and 50, 000 outpatients per year, with one third of patients coming from outside the Cardiff Health Board area. In addition, specialists from the hospital perform clinics annually across Wales in local hospitals with local paediatricians. Phase OneThe building work for Phase One of the Children's Hospital for Wales began in April 2003. The hospital admitted its first patients at the end of February 2005 and the Noah’s Ark Appeal led by Charlotte Church and young patients handed over the keys to the Cardiff and Vale NHS Trust on 1 March 2005. Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas opened the Children’s Hospital for Wales in 2005. Phase One of the Children's Hospital for Wales brought new, purpose-designed buildings and facilities for children's services such as a new main entrance, atrium and reception. As this is on the Ocean floor of the hospital, the artwork all ties in with the ocean theme featuring a fish tank and a fish tree sculpture. The interactive wall plays different sounds of the sea and calming music.
