About paediatric recovery

Paediatric recovery is where children from babies, up to teenagers (16 yrs) go to wake up after their operation.

We look after children who have had a variety of operations.

These include:

Paediatric surgery and urology
Orthopeadic surgery
Plastic surgery including the Cleft palate team
Maxiofacial surgery
Ear, nose and throat surgery
Ophthalmic surgery
General surgery

Most of our operations are planned, but we also look after children who are having emergency operations.

Finding paediatric recovery

Paediatric recovery is on level 3 (the second floor).

From the main hospital entrance: through the main entrance turn left and head towards the concourse and then turn left. Walk past the hairdressers. Take the lift or the stairs directly to level 3. Turn right and then left and head along the long corridor towards the Rosie and the Treatment Centre. Paediatric recovery is situated approximately half way along on the right hand side.

Visiting

We welcome parents/carers into paediatric recovery – and we offer a paging service so we can contact you when your child is in recovery.

Once our patients are in a settled and stable condition, their ward nurses will to collect them and take them back to their ward.

> Ward information

We offer our service from Monday to Friday, in normal working hours.

We have a 5-bed unit and we are a small, enthusiastic team of paediatric nurses. In the future, as we grow, we hope to offer a more improved and extended service to our patients.
