Ward rounds
Ward rounds are when the core senior clinical and nursing teams come round to each bedside to observe and assess your baby’s condition.
Ward rounds take place at the following times:
Monday to Friday: 10am – 11am
Weekends: Times vary. Please ask your baby’s named nurse.
If you are visiting during a ward round you will normally be invited to stay while your baby’s care is being discussed. We may ask you to leave the nursery while other babies are being assessed, in order to ensure privacy and confidentiality is maintained.
Outside of the ward round you may like to meet with your consultant to answer any questions or concerns you may have. They will be available between 10am and 4pm. Please speak with your nurse to arrange a convenient meeting time.
