Neonatal medicine

Caring for ill or premature newborn infants

We will work with you to provide the best possible care for your child

Overview

If your child is born premature or is unwell at the begining of their life, we can provide them with the best possible care, whether they require routine treatments or a complex procedure.

The Portland Hospital is renowned internationally for its paediatric and neonatal care, with a 93-bed unit that includes three cots in both our neonatal intensive care unit and our special care baby unit. It is equipped with the latest technology to monitor and care for both Portland-delivered babies, and babies with complex medical or post-surgical problems.

Our consultants make up a team renowned for some of the world's most groundbreaking neonatal medicine. This includes the invention and development of many life-support systems for babies, and the treatment of brain injury in preterm and term newborn infants.

More about the NICU
Babies can become very ill extremely fast and also recover very quickly, so we are always on the lookout for signs of infection
