About us

Dolphin Ward carries out observation, investigation and treatment for children who do not need to be admitted as inpatients.  This is called ambulatory care.

This is also where you will find our Paediatric Assessment Unit where children can be referred to from the emergency (A&E) department or by a GP.

Visiting times

Families may designate two parents or carers to provide support to a baby, child or young person (paediatric patient) during the day. Both can be at the bedside and one parent or carer can stay overnight.

Please see more information about visiting someone in hospital.
