THE DEPARTMENT OF PAEDIATRICS
Neonatal Unit
There is a twelve cot Neonatal Unit (NNU) with two fully equipped intensive care cots. The NNU has been upgraded and re-equipped to provide a more efficient and comfortable working environment. The number of deliveries at the West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust continues to rise and is currently around 2,629 per year.
There is a separate rota for General Paediatrics and Neonatal unit during the normal working hours and at night and weekends junior rota covers for both.
The Neonatal Unit provides Level 1 care and the ward has 17 beds working closely with Addenbrookes Hospital to share care of complex patients.
We punch above our own weight when it comes to medical students satisfaction scores, trainees choice of placements PROMS and contributing to regional ODNs.
We also work closely alongside the NSFT for the care of eating disorders and young people with mental health problems. Inpatients are supported by dedicated teachers, psychologist and play therapists. We have a strong track record of acute consultants being absorbed into substantive posts.
CAU and Rainbow Ward
The CAU and Rainbow ward is a bright and cheerful environment for children, parents and staff alike. The unit comprises a 9 bed Children’s ward with isolation cubicles linked to a Children’s Short Stay Assessment and Observation Unit (CAU) with 6 beds and cubicles. The beds are used flexibly to accommodate paediatric medical and surgical patients. There is an HDU room, to allow intensive monitoring of children. We have good relations with the adult ITU staff at the hospital and admit critically sick children there for stabilisation, prior to transfer to PICU (usually Addenbrooke’s Cambridge). The department aims to provide comprehensive care for all patients under the age of 16 years but liaises closely and transfers, when appropriate, to Addenbrooke’s Hospital those patients who require regional services.
For Paediatric cardiology the main links are to London (Evelina and Brompton) although there is a lot of liaisons with Addenbrooke’s who link in to a different tertiary cardiology cen
