Paediatric services are based in Oxford Children's Hospital, next to Oxford Heart Centre.
The fetal, paediatric and adult congenital cardiac service is part of the Oxford-Southampton Congenital Cardiac Network, which brings together clinicians, nursing representatives, patient representatives, managers and commissioners from Wessex and Thames Valley.
The network has joint clinical working and management structures: any network activity not available on the Oxford site (mainly Paediatric Cardiac Surgery and Catheterisation) is delivered in Southampton.
Clinics are provided at:
- Stoke Mandeville
- High Wycombe
- Milton Keynes
- Banbury.
Complex cases from other local centres, such as Wexham Park, Northampton, Swindon and Kettering, referred to Oxford for multiple conditions, are also managed by the service.
