Skyline ward
Our Skyline ward has 14 en-suite bedrooms as well as a daycare area with toys and activities. Our play specialist uses creative ways to prepare children for their procedure and encourages them to talk about any concerns they may have.
The Rainbow operating theatre is attached to the Skyline ward so children and young people don’t have to come into contact with the main hospital. Parents can accompany their child until they have their anaesthetic and then see them again in the recovery area.
As part of our admissions assessment we are careful to only admit children to our Skyline ward when we are sure we can meet their needs safely.
Our inpatient service is complemented by a consultant paediatric intensivist and we are confident that if any of our children deteriorate, our high level clinicians will be able to stabilise the child quickly and decide the most appropriate place for their ongoing care.
Please note, that as we do not have a paediatric intensive care unit (PICU) on-site, we may need to transfer your child to a PICU at another hospital including the NHS.
