A stay in neonatal care - An animated guide
Welcome to the Neonatal Unit at the Princess Royal Maternity. We are a neonatal intensive care unit, providing care for premature and newborn infants. We care for infants born as early as 22 weeks, in addition to bigger babies born with respiratory problems, infections, low blood sugars, jaundice, and other common problems in the newborn period.
We understand and appreciate the worry and concern having baby in the neonatal unit. However our dedicated team are all here to help and support you during your baby’s stay.
We are part of the Scottish Perinatal Network with all neonatal units across Scotland, to ensure that babies get the right care, at the right time, in the right place, and as close as possible to home. In particular we work very closely with our sister neonatal units across NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde in both the Royal Alexandra Hospital and the Royal Hospital for Children. We work together to provide a comprehensive model of neonatal care for all babies born in the area, specific to your baby’s needs. For babies with more complex needs, such as cardiac or surgical problems, we liaise closely with our paediatric specialty colleagues in the Royal Hospital for Children.
