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.
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]
