See if there are any records for the hospital and you will hopefully find the name of the Chaplain, and the name of the Church he was attached to (probably the Parish Church) Failing that, approach the Bishop's Office in the diocese where the hospital was and ask where the records for hospital baptisms are. I am presuming, when you say she was Christened, that you mean Church of England? OC
