The Neonatal Outpatients Department
The Neonatal Outpatients Department is an appointment based service and is not an emergency department, so we kindly ask that you only attend if you have a scheduled appointment. If you have a non-urgent concern about your baby, you may contact the team on 018171728 between 8.30 – 14.30. We are happy to provide advice and support, where appropriate or guide you to the most suitable service or arrange a review. If your baby becomes unwell or you have urgent concerns, please contact your GP promptly or attend your nearest emergency department.
