General Information<br />
Acute paediatric services are based at the Royal Devon and Exeter Hospital<br />
(Wonford) and Neonatology has now moved to a purpose built unit on the Wonford<br />
Hospital site. We serve a catchment population of 350,000 with 75,000 children<br />
aged 0-16 years. There are 49 acute paediatric beds including four for high<br />
dependency and a six bedded day case unit. Paediatric oncology and cystic fibrosis<br />
services are multidisciplinary and provide hospital care and community back up for<br />
patients from both the Exeter and Torbay districts. General and specialist surgery is<br />
accommodated on the acute ward and includes plastics, ENT, maxillo-facial,<br />
ophthalmology and orthopaedics. There are paediatric trained consultants in<br />
ophthalmology and orthopaedics. General paediatric and Neonatal consultant cover<br />
during working hours and at weekends is based on a 4day/3day split week on<br />
service model.<br />
Neonatal intensive care is provided as part of the <strong>Peninsula</strong> Neonatal Network in<br />
which the level 3 unit is based in Plymouth. We cater for 3,500 deliveries including<br />
those in three community midwifery led units. There is a foetal medicine unit, and<br />
fertility treatment, and an excellent relationship with the maternity services. We take<br />
all infants ≥26 weeks gestation, offer ventilation, oscillation, total body cooling on the<br />
TOBY register. Day time cover is provided by a week on service model by the<br />
consultants with a neonatal interest as well as an associate specialist. There is night<br />
time cover from a separate rota of neonatal consultants.<br />
Community paediatric services are based in the 3 community Joint Agency Teams<br />
and at Newcourt House. There is regular consultant community paediatric input into<br />
the workings of the Joint Agency Teams. The Honeylands Child Development Centre<br />
provides a multidisciplinary assessment and therapy for pre-school children along<br />
with respite care for children up to the age of 12 yrs. Amongst the numerous special<br />
schools are the School for the Physically Handicapped (Vranch House), adjacent to<br />
Honeylands, The Royal School for the Deaf and the <strong>West</strong> of England School for<br />
Children with Little or No Sight.<br />
