On 10th December 2014, representatives from Alder Hey Children’s Foundation Trust and KARL STORZ Endoscopy (UK) Ltd met to sign a collaboration agreement. The agreement establishes a relationship with the Innovation Hub at Alder Hey Hospital, designed for the development of technologies associated with minimally invasive 'keyhole’ surgery, pre-operative planning and particularly the demanding requirements of surgery on children.
KARL STORZ has gifted some of the most advanced surgical equipment, including a new 3D simulation suite with the latest 3D modelling software.
The collaboration gives the hospital’s clinical experts the opportunity to both experience the new resources and work with the technical expertise KARL STORZ offers to help shape the emerging technologies and techniques that will place Alder Hey at the global forefront of paediatric surgical development. The centre will form part of the new “Alder Hey in the Park’ hospital, due for completion in 2015.
