All over the world, surgical teams are working in unbelievably tough conditions to save and change lives. We can support them to make safe surgery possible, so kids can make anything possible.
Kids Operating Room formally launched in January 2018. However, our team have been working in the development of healthcare systems and children’s surgery long before then.
We are an international global charity registered in Scotland (SC048523). We are run by a Board of Trustees who make decisions on where the charity will invest and ensure that our work is sustainable and delivers the greatest impact for our investment. The Board devolves day-to-day responsibility for running the charity to the Chief Executive.

We use Vimeo to embed videos on our site. When a video is loaded, Vimeo sets cookies that are necessary for secure playback and to prevent abuse (like bot traffic). These are considered essential for the video to work properly. We also use a setting (dnt=1) that disables Vimeo’s own analytics and tracking features.
If you visit a page containing a Vimeo video and you are logged in to your Vimeo account or if you’ve visited the Vimeo website before ourwebsite, Vimeo may use cookies to keep you logged in, for analytics and advertising purposes, and collect data linked to your Vimeo account which we cannot control.
