Adolescent Ward

Adolescent Ward is a 16 bed ward for young people over the age of 12.  Patients receive care from a wide range of medical and surgical staff including respiratory, general medicine, endocrine, general surgery, orthopaedics, neurology, gastroenterology and rehabilitation specialists. Ward staff aim to meet the developmental needs of adolescents, whilst caring for their physical health.

The ward provides a friendly environment for adolescents and their families. Nursing Staff wear uniform for weekday early shifts only, and wear casual clothes on late and night shifts and weekends.

Patients are admitted to Adolescent Ward through the Paediatric Emergency Department, Outpatients Clinics or, in the case of post trauma patients for rehabilitation, transfer from other hospitals.

Staff of Adolescent Ward work closely with other areas of the hospital and with community agencies to ensure patients enjoy positive health outcomes. 

The ward has a team of permanent nursing staff and offers placements to nursing students and graduate nurses.
