CaRi-heart technology
Revolutionary new technology to assess the risk of a serious heart condition or heart attack – many years before anything happens.
We are specialists in paediatric care and offer general paediatrics and routine procedures right through to complex children's cardiac and neurological treatment.
When your child is hurt or unwell, we understand how important rapid access to trusted expertise can be.
At HCA Healthcare UK, our team has the experience and the expertise to make sure your child’s getting the care they need, when they need it, while making sure they feel secure and at ease.
The Portland Hospital is the only private hospital in the UK dedicated to the healthcare needs of women and children, caring for more than 40,000 children every year.
Whether you’re seeking help for a broken arm or an acute underlaying condition, we’re here for you, your child, and the rest of your family, with timely diagnosis, rapid access to treatment and ongoing support.
While you should always dial 999 in an emergency, our Urgent Care Centre is open to any child from a newborn to 17 years of age*.
One of our specialist paediatric nurses will complete an initial assessment and advise you with the next steps to ensure your child receives the best possible care. If your child needs treatment, our team will book you in for our next available appointment. Standard opening hours are Monday-Sunday 8am -8pm.**
*By appointment only.
**Last scheduled appointment is at 7pm.
Our experts offer dedicated care and support for you and your child, with paediatric consultants that specialise in both common and complex conditions and treatments, from developmental disorders to cardiac and orthopaedic care.
If you or your baby needs extra support and specialist care, we’re here for you day and night, throughout the year.
The Portland Hospital is the only private maternity unit in London with a paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) and a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) on-site.
Each unit is staffed by leading paediatric consultants and specialist nurses and supported by advanced diagnostic tools, delivering exceptional safety and outstanding outcomes for the newborns in our care.
We want our patients to remember their time in our hospital as much for compassion, comfort and safety as for the treatment they received. That’s why we’ve put so much thought into hospital design.
The standards of care we offer through our paediatric services have been recognised for their excellence. HCA Healthcare UK inpatient paediatric services are based at The Portland Hospital, which the CQC has commended for providing patient-centred care delivered by highly trained compassionate staff, in all paediatric services from outpatient care to complex procedures.
Pick up and drop off: Visitors can pick up and drop off patients at the main entrance. No parking is allowed as the driveway is for emergency vehicle access.
Local parking: There is no on-site parking and street parking is not permitted on a single yellow line between Monday to Saturday, 8.30am- 6.30pm. However, national and private car parks are available nearby. Please contact the admissions team if you require help to identify a local car park near to the hospital.
Disabled parking: Westminster Council operate a small number of disabled parking bays near the hospital, available to Blue Badge holders for up to four hours. The nearest one is on the corner of Bolsover Street, next to Tesco Express.
At The Portland it is open visiting, however, we do recommend that visitors leave by 10pm. If your child is staying over night, this means both parents and child can settle for the night.
Should you wish to stay overnight with your child (we actively encourage this). a bed will be provided for one parent to stay.
There’s no such thing as a silly question. If you have a question or any concerns about your child’s health, simply call our paediatric team. Our friendly and clinically trained staff will be happy to help.
