Welcome to the NICU
The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is based in the
Rosie Hospital. It is a specialist neonatal unit that admits
more than 700 babies each year and is the lead centre in
Anglia for the provision of neonatal intensive care. We
receive referrals for the most critically ill neonatal babies
in the Region and, if necessary, from outside of Region.
The transitional care ward (Sara
Ward) admits a further 600 infants every year.
We care for all sick newborn babies - including those who
are born only on the edge of viability. We aim to support
the family throughout their baby's stay and encourage parents
to become involved in their baby's care. Having our own
Community Team means that babies
from the local area can have continued care at home, if
necessary.
