The paediatric department provides care for children from birth to 17 years of age, for all illnesses. We recognise that having a child in hospital can be a stressful time for both the child and their family, so we provide specialised paediatric services and all the staff work as a team whilst your child is with us. You will be encouraged to become part of the treatment of your child, caring for your child and contributing to the decisions made about their care and treatment.
