There are a total of 32 beds on Ward 4A, which are separated into colour coded zones: yellow, blue, green, and orange.

Ward 4A facilities
On Ward 4A, you will find a play area at the very end of the ward in the yellow zone. Patients and siblings are welcome to use this play space but must always be supervised by an adult.
Next to the play space is a kitchen area, where parents/carers can make a hot drink, prepare food, or heat up baby milk.
Next to each patient bed on the ward, there is also a pull-out bed so one parent/carer can stay with their child overnight. Speak to someone on the ward if you would like to use this.
