     The Evelina Children's Hospital opened in London this week, the first new children's hospital in the city for more than 100 years. The 140 bed hospital is on the St Thomas' Hospital site and brings most of Guy's and St Thomas' children's services together under one roof.

    The Evelina has been funded by a grant of £50m ($89m; $74m) from Guy's and St Thomas' Charity and £10m from the NHS. It will serve children in the boroughs of Lambeth and Southwark and offer specialist care to children from across England and abroad.

    Hopkins Architects won a competition approved by the Royal Institute of British Architects to design the hospital, which has involved young patients and their families from the earliest stages.

    Jonathan Michael, chief executive of Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust, said: "The Evelina is a supremely practical, state of the art hospital, but one that is full of imagination, warmth, and fun. It redefines the concept of a children's hospital and will undoubtedly influence the building of new hospitals in Britain and across the world."(Zosia Kmietowicz)
