The Team & Role

The Special Care Nursery at Sandringham Hospital is an 8-bed Level 3 Nursery providing ongoing neonatal care, including short-term CPAP support. We care for unwell babies from our busy birth unit and maternity ward, as well as step-down neonates from tertiary NICUs.

Discharge coordination is a key component of the role, with a strong focus on care planning, parent education, and facilitating safe, timely discharge to support family reunification.

Our unit operates under a Family Centred Care model, partnering with parents to ensure the best possible outcomes for babies and families.
