Summary

The CAU and Rainbow ward is a bright and cheerful environment for children, parents and staff alike. The unit comprises a 9 bed Children's ward with isolation cubicles linked to a Children's Short Stay Assessment and Observation Unit (CAU) with 6 beds and cubicles. The beds are used flexibly to accommodate paediatric medical and surgical patients. There is an HDU room, to allow intensive monitoring of children. We have good relations with the adult ITU staff at the hospital and admit critically sick children there for stabilisation, prior to transfer to PICU (usually Addenbrookes Cambridge). The department aims to provide comprehensive care for all patients under the age of 16 years but liaises closely and transfers, when appropriate, to Addenbrookes Hospital those patients who require regional services. There is a twelve cot Neonatal Unit (NNU) with two fully equipped intensive care cots. The NNU has been upgraded and re-equipped to provide a more efficient and comfortable working environment. The number of deliveries at the West Suffolk NHS Foundation Trust continues to rise and is currently around 2,629 per year. Dr Aamir is the neonatal lead.

Paediatric Out-Patient Clinics are held in the Rainbow Out-Patients department. There is a wide variety of local sub-specialist paediatric clinics for a District General Hospital including preterm, newborn, neurodevelopmental follow up clinics, neurology/epilepsy, asthma, allergy, urology/nephrology, echocardiography, dermatology, diabetes/endocrinology, oncology and psychology. Joint multidisciplinary outreach clinics for paediatric cardiology occur 10 times a year with visiting specialists from the Royal Brompton Hospital and from Evelina Children's Hospital (Guys and St Thomas Hospital). Other outreach paediatric speciality clinics include endocrinology, neurology, genetics, urology and nephrology with visiting specialists from Addenbrookes Hospital, Cambridge and Norfolk and Norwich hospital.
