We are the combination of four hospitals: the General Hospital, the Children’s Hospital, the Women’s Hospital and the Traumatology, Rehabilitation and Burns Hospital. We are part of the Vall d’Hebron Barcelona Hospital Campus: a world-leading health park where healthcare plays a crucial role.
Patients are the centre and the core of our system. We are professionals committed to quality care and our organizational structure breaks down the traditional boundaries between departments and professional groups, with an exclusive model of knowledge areas.
Would you like to know what your stay at Vall d'Hebron will be like? Here you will find all the information.
The commitment of Vall d'Hebron University Hospital to innovation allows us to be at the forefront of medicine, providing first class care adapted to the changing needs of each patient.
In the Unit, a team of specialist pediatricians, pediatric nursing staff, rotating pediatric residents, nursing assistants, pediatric nursing residents, orderlies, administrative staff, and cleaning personnel work together, sharing tasks and experiences, with the sole aim of providing the best care for our children.
We are a reference center for the care of children with complex underlying conditions (solid organ or bone marrow transplant patients, immunocompromised patients, etc.), working in synergy with the other units of our center, and we are part of the Pediatrics Service to provide comprehensive care for sick children.
In Pediatric Emergency, we care for patients up to 16 years of age, except for children with chronic illnesses that require very specific management, who may be cared for in our Unit even beyond this age.
In addition to visits to assess urgent and emergent medical or surgical conditions in children, and to schedule follow-up appointments for patients who require further clinical monitoring, we also have an Observation Room to hospitalize patients when necessary.
Thanks to the coordination among the Nursing team, Pediatric Emergency, Pediatric Surgery, Traumatology, Anesthesiology, Radiology, Pediatric ICU, and many other professionals, we are a reference center for Initial Pediatric Trauma Care (AITP).
Regarding teaching, in the Unit we train medical residents (MIR) in Pediatrics and Family Medicine, as well as pediatric nursing residents. Undergraduate training of medical and nursing students also plays a key role, in addition to the practical training of nursing assistants. We participate in numerous teaching and continuing education activities both inside and outside the Hospital (pediatric advanced life support and AITP courses, joint courses with Primary Care, internal Hospital courses, sessions with different units and services, drills for the care of polytraumatized and critically ill children, etc.).
Regarding research, we are part of the Spanish Society of Pediatric Emergency (SEUP) and its research network (RiSEUP), and we participate in numerous multicenter projects and clinical trials.
