‘The Spark', which will open later this year, was funded by Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust, the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority, Sheffield City Council and Sheffield Children's Hospital Charity.

Ruth Brown, chief executive at Sheffield Children's NHS Foundation Trust, said: ‘The completion of Sheffield Children's newest building, The Spark, is an important milestone for children and young people everywhere. As we celebrate 150 years of Sheffield Children's, we are proud to open a new facility that will transform care today while also becoming the home of the National Centre for Child Health Technology, helping shape the future of children's healthcare for generations to come.'

The centre is designed to play a key role in supporting the Government's long-term ambition to improve healthcare by moving care closer to communities, making greater use of digital technology and focusing on prevention as well as treatment.

Lee Powell, managing director at HBC, said: ‘We are proud to have successfully delivered the National Centre for Child Health Technology. It is a landmark and genuinely transformative project for the UK.

‘Contributing to a facility that has the potential to change lives and improve outcomes for children and young people has been a truly rewarding journey for our team.

‘We've built a strong working relationship with the trust, founded on ambition, flexibility and close collaboration, and have together delivered the scheme to the exceptionally high standards it merits.'
