Being An Outpatient

If you need to come to hospital to see a doctor, nurse or therapist for a short amount of time you will visit as an outpatient. Our children’s outpatient department is on Level 2, West block outpatients, just follow the lighthouse picture symbols to the Jenny Lind Children’s Outpatients reception desk.

Our outpatient services include Jenny Lind Outpatients, the Children’s Assessment Unit (CAU) and the Children’s Day Ward (CDW).

Baby Changing Facilities

There are baby changing facilities available in the Jenny Lind Outpatient Department, CAU and CDW for all visitors to the department to use.

If you require changing facilities for older children please approach a member of staff and they will source a suitable space for you to use. We are able to provide the use of a hoist should you require it.

We also have a hoist available to use which can weigh children who are unable to stand or sit on scales.

If you have any questions or concerns about the facilities or equipment available to you please approach a member of the nursing staff who will be very happy to assist you.
