Trafford General Hospital - Blood Pressure Monitors x2

Trafford General Hospital in Manchester is planning major changes to the services it offers local children, with a new, state of the art 24-hour Paediatric Observation and Assessment Unit due to open in 2009. This will offer children in Trafford the chance to be treated in a dedicated unit by experienced, trained paediatric staff.

 

Located next to the adult A&E department, but operating as a separate facility, it will be equipped with child-specific items and will offer more than a traditional Casualty Department, with children being observed and treated for up to six hours before being discharged under the care of the Community Nursing team.   

 

The majority of children who attend A&E will require blood pressure monitoring. Blood pressure is an important indication of a child’s condition and it is important to check for underlying problems and to record any changes. We have been asked to provide two blood pressure monitors which are quick, accurate and easy to use and extremely child friendly.
