Child Life and Health

Who we are
Child Life and Health (CLAH) was established in 1931. The Department was initially in Chalmers Street adjacent to the old Royal Infirmary and the Simpson Memorial Maternity Pavilion. CLAH moved into its first purpose-built accommodation when the new Wing of the Royal Hospital for Sick Children was completed in August 1994.

What we do
Child Life and Health provides undergraduate and postgraduate teaching and conducts research in paediatric and adolescent medicine. CLAH collaborates with National Health Service (NHS) researchers within Lothian University Hospitals NHS Trust. These include the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, the Simpson Centre for Reproductive Health and Community Paediatrics, as well as Lothian Primary Care Trust.
