Dr Alfred Stephens was the co-founder of the Liverpool Children's Infirmary. The institution was funded initially by Matthew Gregson (1800-76) and later by public subscription. Opened in 1851, it was the second Children's Hospital in England. Alfred Stephens was a general practitioner without higher qualifications. In due course he perceived that the free treatment of children at the Infirmary affected his income and he redirected patients to his practice. This led to confrontation with his colleagues and the Board of the Infirmary, and good relations were never restored. His name has not been commemorated nor his charitable work remembered.
阿尔弗雷德·斯蒂芬斯医生是利物浦儿童医院的联合创始人。该机构最初由马修·格雷格森（1800 - 1876）资助，后来通过公众认购筹集资金。它于1851年开业，是英格兰的第二家儿童医院。阿尔弗雷德·斯蒂芬斯是一名没有更高学历的全科医生。随着时间的推移，他意识到医院为儿童提供免费治疗影响了他的收入，于是他将患者转到自己的诊所。这导致了他与同事以及医院董事会的冲突，良好关系再也没有恢复。他的名字没有得到纪念，他的慈善工作也没有被铭记。
