Medical rounds

Each day one of our specialist neonatologists (baby doctors) will see your baby to check on their progress. 

These visits are called 'rounds' and are attended by a variety of medical, nursing and support staff. 

You are welcome to be present during rounds and are encouraged to ask questions. 

During the week, rounds are done twice a day, morning and mid-afternoon, and on weekends they occur once in the morning. 

Your baby may be under the care of one of the neonatologists, or under joint care with other specialist paediatricians or paediatric surgeons.

If you would like to discuss your baby’s medical condition, treatment or progress with the doctors concerned, we can arrange an appointment at a convenient time.

Grace rounds

Our staff have been specially trained to help support babies’ development during their admission and after discharge. 

Our team meets with babies and their families twice a week on a Monday and Thursday. 

In these rounds, with your help, we work out what your baby likes and identify activities to support their development. 

This information is displayed for you at the bedside and is designed to encourage consistent caregiving. If you would like to meet our team, please let your nurse know. 

If you need the information explained, please let a member of the team know.
