Neonatal Unit
Welcome to the Neonatal Unit (NNU). I am Claire, the Neonatal Matron. Whilst your baby is on the neonatal unit the team will work together to ensure that your baby receives the highest standard of care and that you are fully involved and supported as parents throughout your stay with us.
We know that most women who are pregnant do not expect their baby to need neonatal care. It can be a scary time but the team are here to care for you and your baby.

Working with families, we have developed the following video to provide you with useful information about the services and facilities available in our Neonatal Unit. Families share their experiences, as well as tips, for any new parents and guardians. Find out more below.
Take a virtual tour of the Neonatal Unit
The 3D tour of the hospital’s Neonatal Unit enables parents, families and friends to virtually experience our unit.
The interactive tool provides parents with the chance virtually walk around the unit to understand what to expect if their baby needs to be admitted. It explains how the unit will look, feel and sound, as well as providing further information on equipment facilities and links to other resources such as videos and websites.
Navigate around the unit using the arrows below and use the buttons to read more about our facilities and equipment. If you have any questions about the tour, speak to a member of staff.
