Information for outpatients
Find out what you need to know if you are visiting the hospital.
Inpatient Care
Children and young people are cared for in a 8-bedded ward. There is also a Childrens Assessment Unit where children are referred to from the Emergency Dept, GP surgeries, Community Midwives and Health Visitors.
The children’s ward takes inpatients and cares for children aged 0 to 16 years from a range of specialties that include:
- Paediatric medicine
- Emergency
- Dermatology
- ENT
- Ophthalmology
- Orthopaedics
- Surgery
We also have a high dependency cubicle on the ward for very unwell children. Children who require more specialised treatment are generally referred to Sheffield Children’s Hospital or Leeds.
The ward is staffed by trained children’s nurses.
To make the experience of hospital as normal as possible for children, we have a children’s play team.
