Summary
We provide acute and ambulatory care to the approximately 16,000 children living in Jersey. This includes Neonatal Care, Acute Paediatric Medical Care and Ambulatory Care. Acute services are delivered at the General Hospital. Robin Ward (the Childrens ward) has 15 beds and cares for medical and surgical in-patients with 1,600 admissions per year. Outpatient services are provided for approximately 1,000 new patients per annum. Visiting clinics in Paediatric Neurology, Paediatric Cardiology, Paediatric Respiratory medicine, Paediatric Gastroenterology, Paediatric Urology and Paediatric Endocrinology are established. There are telemedicine links to Paediatric Cardiology services in Southampton. We receive local support from Adult Intensive Care, the surgical team, including General Surgery, ENT, Orthopaedics, Maxillary facial surgery. CAMHS services are based on the island, and children and young people with mental health problems including eating disorders are admitted, when needed, to Robin ward for joint management. Physiotherapy, Occupational Therapy, Speech and Language Therapy are based in the Enid Quenault Health and Wellbeing centre where child development and complex needs clinics are held and led by the consultant community paediatrician. There are about 1000 deliveries in the Maternity Unit annually. We run a level 1 Neonatal Unit, but will not infrequently need to stabilise an extremely preterm baby prior to transfer to tertiary unit. Appropriate cases are transferred to NICU by our own team. We aim for complicated pregnancies, including antenatally diagnosed malformations, and deliveries expected before 30 weeks gestation, to be transferred to deliver in tertiary units in the UK. Similarly, we will occasionally need to provide urgent care and stabilisation to critically ill children prior to the arrival of the PICU, SORT retrieval team. Cases of potential child abuse are closely supported by the Consultant on-call. Close liaison is maintained with the Police and Childrens Services.
