Presenting at Outpatients
You should contact your GP immediately if your baby becomes unwell. The hospital provides an out-of-hours service for newborn babies up to 2 weeks of age by appointment only. If your baby is over 2 weeks old, you should attend a paediatric hospital such as the Children’s University Hospital, Temple Street, as the Rotunda cannot admit babies of this age.
