Business Funding Bolsters Specialist Paediatric Palliative Consultant Numbers

An innovative clinical role, only permanently introduced a few years ago at Birmingham Children’s Hospital for the care of children living with life-limiting conditions, is expanding with a further two consultants thanks to business support through children’s charity Molly Ollys.

Birmingham Children’s Hospital will become a training hospital in Paediatric Palliative Medicine. News of the funding, which will double the number of existing roles in the region, came during a special event in Birmingham on Tuesday 17th October hosted by Molly Ollys, which is donating more than £310,000 to cover two years of training, supported by corporate supporters, Oakland International.
