Our staff

A brief introduction to our team members and people you are likely to meet while your child is in hospital is available on the meet the team page.

A list of our paediatric consultants and their details, including qualifications, is available on our consultants database.

Food and drink

If your child is admitted to the children’s clinic for a length of time, we will provide food and drinks for your child, if appropriate.

There is a shop, café and restaurant in the hospital where you can purchase additional food and drink for yourself.

Parking

Information about parking at the hospital is available here.

The children’s clinic offers concessionary parking for parents following some admissions to the department. Ask a member of staff in the clinic for more details.

Hospedia TV and entertainment system

Every bed has a TV and telephone system attached to it and is free to use during the day.

Supporting your child having an anaesthetic

Sometimes it can be difficult to know where to begin when trying to explain things to children. It can also be a stressful and daunting time as a parent especially if you do not know what to expect. We have included links to some useful websites and our own video for you and your child to help you understand and explain what may happen.

The Royal College of Anaesthetics has a useful information for parents, available here.
