Paediatric Cardiac Services

The national paediatric cardiac service is based at Glasgow’s Royal Hospital for Sick Children at Yorkhill. This national service incorporates cardiac surgery, interventional cardiology and neonatal cardiac services; providing an expert package of care for children with cardiac conditions, up to age 16. This service operates closely with the Scottish Adult Congenital Cardiac Service, providing transitional support between paediatric and adult congenital heart disease services.

The transfer of surgical care for Scottish children with hypoplastic left heart syndrome has been successfully completed with children now treated at the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Glasgow (Yorkhill Hospital).
