The Children’s Unit provides 24 hour inpatient treatment and day case care. It has been specifically designed to ensure all children and young people’s needs are catered for. A bed on the unit will be allocated according to your child’s age and condition.
We offer a range of facilities for all children and their families. We have a playroom, play area and a dedicated adolescent room where young people can access an excellent range of age appropriate activities.
The team comprises of experienced paediatric nurses and healthcare support workers who provide holistic family centred care 24 hours, seven days a week.
The team work closely with all members of the multidisciplinary team in order to deliver evidence based care to a high standard which ultimately empowers both the parents and carers and the child in preparation for discharge.
The unit’s aim is to support both the parents and carers and the child by providing individualised care that meets and responds to the ever changing field of paediatric nursing.
We actively encourage parent and carer involvement in their child’s care by providing facilities to enable them to be resident throughout their stay.
