About the Neonatal Service The neonatal unit at West Middlesex currently supports around 5,000 deliveries each year, making it one of the busiest local services in the region. Until recently, the unit had 16 cots, comprising 4 HDU and 12 SCBU cots, and cared for babies above 1kg and 30 weeks gestation. With approval for re-designation to a Local Neonatal Unit, the service will expand to 18 cots, including 2 ITU stabilisation cots, 4 HDU cots and 12 SCBU cots, enabling care for more babies. This development ensures that more babies can remain on site, reducing the need for transfers and keeping families together. The unit is supported by dedicated Tier 1 and Tier 2 medical rotas, a highly skilled nursing workforce, and an established multi-professional team including dietetics, pharmacy, speech and language therapy, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy. There are six parent rooms on site, and transitional care is delivered on the postnatal ward with enhanced consultant support. Families are further supported by a strong neonatal community follow-up service, working closely with paediatric community nursing colleagues. The service is part of the North West London Neonatal Operational Delivery Network and maintains close clinical and academic links with Chelsea and Westminster NICU, one of the largest neonatal intensive care units in London. About Paediatrics at West Middlesex Childrens services at West Middlesex are delivered through the Starlight inpatient ward, the Sunshine day unit, and the Paediatric Short Stay Unit (PSSU). These facilities, together with a dedicated paediatric emergency department and outpatient services, provide a comprehensive range of care for children and young people. The paediatric emergency department alone sees more than 34,000 children annually, with around 18,000 referred onwards for specialist paediatric input. The service is supported by a large and enthusiastic consultant team, with expertise across general paediatrics, acute paediatrics, and subspecialties including respiratory, endocrinology, gastroenterology and neurology. Consultants provide continuity through an attending-of-the-week model on the general paediatric wards and deliver resident consultant cover in the evenings until 21:30. Paediatric services are managed through the West London Childrens Healthcare alliance, a unique collaboration that brings together childrens healthcare across multiple acute sites and community teams, ensuring coordinated care from birth through to adolescence. Neonatal services, although managed separately, are closely aligned with this pathway to ensure smooth transition between maternity, neonatal and paediatric car Please refer to our detailed job description for more information.
