Children and Young Peoples<br />

Services at Springfield Hospital<br />

Did you know that at Springfield Hospital we have a dedicated team of Specialist<br />

Children and Young Peoples Consultants and Nurses Nicole and Ros co-ordinated<br />

by our Lead Nurse Ami Catchpole.<br />

Our children’s services run from birth-16 years and our young peoples services run from 16-18<br />

years. We are licensed to admit children from 3 years old and upwards, for day and overnight<br />

surgery. Our facilities include individual rooms with en suite, TV & DVD and we can also offer a<br />

well equipped play room with lots of toys. For those wishing to stay with their child we can offer<br />

a twin room for overnight stays.<br />

Younger children will get to drive themselves around our springers ward in our mini gaining their<br />

driving licence to drive themselves to theatre. At discharge we provide follow up after care by<br />

the children and younger people’s team via phone contract and if necessary by face to face<br />

review by the consultant.
