• A Neonatal Unit with 21 cots, which provides high dependency neonatal care with a level five capability. There is always a neonatologist covering, and we manage TPN, chest drainage and ROP screening. There are more than 3,600 infants born annually by the obstetric service
• A Children's Unit containing twenty-two beds (which includes two Paediatric Short Stay Unit beds) and caters for paediatric medical and paediatric surgical patients. Prior to COVID, there were 2 paediatric HDU beds located in the adult ICU
