Unit Virtual Tour
Unit Services
| The unit is a Local Neonatal Unit with 32 cots, providing a whole range of intensive care (IC), high dependency care (HD), and special care (SC) services. The unit also provides Transitional Care which aims to avoid unnecessary admission to the neonatal unit thus keeping babies and families together in the Postnatal Wards. We have a Neonatal Community Nursing Team that supports babies and families as they continue their journey at home in the community.
We have a team of allied health professionals that are experts in their areas of specialty within neonatal services, these include Physiotherapist, Occupational Therapist, Dietician, Speech and Language Therapist and Perinatal Psychotherapist. To further support families there is an Infant Feeding & Developmental Care Lead. The unit has completed the three stages of BFI accreditation. We have Advanced Neonatal Nurse Practitioners (ANNP), who work on the medical rota. ANNPs are ideally placed to support both medical and nursing colleagues. For babies who may need further care and referral to the children’s team there is also a Children’s Complex Discharge Coordinator to support this transition. |
UNIT ACCESS AND VISITING
There is 24 hours access for parents, grandparents and siblings. We allow two people at a time on the cot side (one of them being the parent) to ensure that we adhere to Infection Control Prevention guidelines.
Faith Leaders & Chaplaincy
The Trust has a Chaplaincy team which consists of Chaplains from Christian and other faith backgrounds through established links within the local faith communities, including Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, and Sikh. They are on-site Sunday and Friday between 9 am – 5 pm.
There is a Chapel and a Multi-Faith prayer room at the hospital. These are open seven days a week, 24 hours a day.
