The Neonatal Unit provides care for premature and sick babies over 30 weeks gestation. Babies who are born before 30 weeks gestation or require ventilation for over 24 hours will be stabilised before transferring to a bigger Neonatal Unit which can provide on-going Intensive Care.
On the Neonatal Unit we provide short term ventilation, non-invasive ventilation and oxygen therapy. We also care for babies who need phototherapy for jaundice also need assistance with feeding through a gastric tube. On the Neonatal Unit we care for babies who need help with temperature control and also need medical treatment for infections and other medical conditions.
On the Neonatal Unit we have a team of specialist nurses who are experienced in caring for babies who need Intensive Care, High Dependency Care and Special Care. The medical team consists of Paediatric consultants, specialist registrars and junior doctors.
We work closely with the maternity team and also the children’s ward. The Neonatal unit is part of a network of Neonatal services throughout the east of England region and the network has a dedicated transport team for when a sick baby needs transferring to another hospital in the region.
