Royal Manchester Children's Hospital

Royal Manchester Children's Hospital is a leading specialist paediatric trauma centre. It was recently involved in a research study reviewing injuries among children under 16 who were involved in e-scooter crashes. This research, conducted between January 2019 and December 2024, also included data from Alder Hey Children's Hospital and Sheffield Children's Hospital. The findings highlight a significant surge in e-scooter related injuries among young people, with some cases involving children as young as nine. The hospital's participation in this study underscores its role in addressing critical public health issues affecting children and its contribution to understanding and potentially mitigating the risks associated with emerging forms of transport among youth.
