WellChild Research

Since it was first established in 1977, WellChild has had a long history of funding innovative and transformational research in many areas of children’s health.  This has included supporting the early careers of a number of researchers who have subsequently made significant contributions in their field including Professor Anne Greenough and Professor Giorgina Vergani.

In addition WellChild is delighted to have had a long association with the Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health with whom they established the British Paediatric Surveillance Unit (BPSU). This also led to acknowledging the need to advance the education of researchers through Research Fellowships.

WellChild has also provided funding for infrastructure and capital projects at units across the UK including the development of the Neonatal Unit at King’s College Hospital, London, the WellChild Research Laboratory at Evelina Children’s Hospital, London, the WellChild Pain Research Centre at Great Ormond Street Hospital, London and the Children’s Research Centre at Birmingham Children’s Hospital.
