Your child's stay with us
Specialised care
We know that coming into hospital can be scary for children as
well as a very worrying time for parents. All the staff
in the Paediatric Centre are very experienced in looking after
children and their families. They will do everything they can
to make your child's stay as comfortable and pleasant as possible,
as an out-patient or in-patient.
Our qualified Paediatric Play Specialist and other clinical support
staff, will be on hand to support the nursing staff,
children and parents to make their hospital experience a positive
one.
Outpatient and Diagnostic Facilities
The Paediatric Centre has a dedicated outpatient area with a
comprehensive range of diagnostic facilities. We have an MRI
scanner, a CT scanner, ultrasound equipment, general radiography,
nuclear medicine, an angiography laboratory, audiology,
neurophysiology and an on-site pathology laboratory. Our
Paediatric Play Specialist is there on hand to help put
your child at ease during any scans they may need.
We can offer daycase anaesthetic for MRI scans if this is
appropriate.
Child friendly
All patient areas have been
designed to create a friendly and relaxed atmosphere for
children, their parents and carers. Each bedroom has a TV with
DVD and en-suite bathroom. Folding beds are available if
parents would like to stay overnight with their child.
The unit's activity and play centre provides
activities for both children and adolescents, with a
great range of books, music, games and toys including a Play
Station and Xbox.
Daycase and in-patient facilities
The inpatient unit has 14 bedrooms and a 4 bedded day care
area adjacent to the dedicated paediatric theatre (Rainbow
Theatre). Our Rainbow Theatre carries out a wide range
of surgical procedures including Paediatric Plastic Surgery,
Paediatric General Surgery, Paediatric ENT, Paediatric Urology and
Paediatric Orthopaedic Surgery.
Inpatient facilities are also used for non-surgical conditions
such as failure to thrive, chest infections, feeding problems and
rehabilitation.
The Paediatric Centre also has one of only two private
paediatric intensive care unit's (PICU) in London.
