Opening times

Parents and siblings can visit any time of the day or night and we encourage you to come as much as you can. It is really important that your baby gets to know you and you get to know your baby.

Service summary

Being born prematurely, having a difficult delivery or antenatal concerns are all reasons a baby may be admitted to our unit at the Great Western Hospital.

Further information

Once your baby is settled in the unit, they will be fully assessed and the treatment and care will be tailored to their specific needs. The Nurse caring for your baby will be able to update you on their progress regularly.
