Specialist paediatric nursing staff

If your child does need further treatment, we offer a safe, friendly and supportive environment for young patients and their families. We have three wonderful specialist paediatric nurses, so your child will be assigned a nurse who will work closely with their consultant to ensure continuity and a trusting relationship during their stay.

Our paediatric nurses regularly score 100% in our patient feedback surveys completed by our paediatric patients.

We also have children’s meal options and young children will receive a special Bravery Certificate and The Holly teddy bear to take home after their visit.

Parents or carers are able to stay overnight with their child in their private, ensuite patient bedroom.
