Ward 4C facilities
At the very end of the ward (in the yellow zone), you will find a dedicated play area. This area has plenty of toys to keep children occupied during their stay. There is also a play deck, which may be opened in the warmer months of the year. Patients and siblings are free to play in this area under the supervision of an adult.
There is a dedicated space in Ward 4C for parents/carers to prepare hot drinks and snacks. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the hospital building, and on the ward you can access it on your smartphone or tablet.
Ward 4C mealtimes
Ward 4C has its own dedicated ward chef who is on hand to provide your child with their favourite meals during their stay with us. The mealtimes on the ward are approximately 12pm for a freshly cooked light lunch and 4:30pm for a full evening meal. The menu has been developed in conjunction with Dieticians and the Patients’ Forum. The Chefs are assisted by the Housekeeper, who will take orders, serve food and clear up.
