Trafford General Hospital - Baby Warming Cot
UPDATE: The unit opened in 2010.
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.
Small babies are less able to regulate their body temperature and are very prone to hypothermia. This cot is a less invasive piece of equipment than an incubator and can be used in the O&A Unit. The cot can quickly be raised to an appropriate, accessible height in the event of an emergency, so medical staff can treat the baby quickly without moving the baby to a treatment table.
Beneficiaries: Sick babies needing emergency care.
Total: £1,600
