In the Paediatric Department at SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital we guarantee the comprehensive treatment of any disorder the child may present with up until the age of eighteen

We provide comprehensive care to complex patients, or those suffering from multiple conditions, which require a high level of care. To this end, we collaborate with all the Units and Departments in the SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital. The department is made up of the Rheumatology, Pneumology, Infectious Diseases and Palliative Care Units.

The paediatrician acting as an integrating professional constitutes a significant advantage for the patient, making it possible to improve diagnosis and prognosis and reduce the number of readmissions for the chronically ill. It is with this comprehensive overview that we treat adopted children coming from other countries, with the aim of guaranteeing their good health. We also offer counselling sessions for children suffering from nocturnal enuresis (bed-wetting) and the Child Abuse Functional Unit. Our surgery is also attended by children who feel ill but have yet to be diagnosed.

Why SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital?

Our experience

Each year we care for more than 15,000 patients in outpatient visits or hospital admissions, which amounts to 60 patients each day.

Multidisciplinary care centered on the child and his family

We work in coordination with professionals from all the Units and Services of the SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital.

Integrated vision for patients

We examine patients to diagnose or rule out health problems. We decide on the best way to approach each case based on the child's family and environment.

Research

The professionals in the Paediatric Department participate in two multidisciplinary research groups at the Sant Joan de Déu Research Institute (IRSJD):

Infectious diseases and systemic inflammatory response in Paediatrics

The infectious diseases research group combines the study of clinical, molecular and epidemiological aspects of major paediatric infectious diseases, including vaccine-preventable diseases and vertically transmitted infections. It consists of the following lines of research:

  • Molecular epidemiological surveillance of vaccine-preventable diseases, coordinated by the head of the research group, in which three of the Department's physicians participate.
  • HIV: coordinated by the coordinator for infectious diseases, in which some of the Department's physicians are also involved.
  • Systemic inflammatory response in children: coordinated by the coordinator of the Rheumatology Department, in which three of the Department's physicians participate.

Influence of environment on the well-being of children and adolescents

This group is in training and focuses on research in the following fields:

  • Study of epidemiological and clinical factors in childhood accidents.
  • Differential diagnosis of child abuse.
  • Early detection and secondary prevention of social and health problems in adolescence: drugs, sexuality and violence.
  • Impact of external agents (radiation, pollution, etc.) on children's health.
  • Improving the care of paediatric patients in medical consultations through the presence of parents, analgesia, age-differentiated care (children/adolescents).

Teaching

SJD Barcelona Children's Hospital is a university hospital affiliated with the University of Barcelona, and so we share our knowledge and train professionals to specialise in high-complexity medicine.

Specialist training for resident physicians and medical interns (MIR)

We train specialist paediatricians to work in hospital and non-hospital settings.

Courses developed in-house

We organise clinical sessions and in-house courses:

  • Multidisciplinary course of Paediatric Hospitalisation. Twice a year.
  • Course on Paediatric Palliative Care.
