Our children’s services provide emergency, inpatient, outpatient and day case care for young people, children and babies.

We have a dedicated children’s emergency department (CED), a paediatric assessment unit, a neonatal unit, an inpatient ward, outpatient department and day care unit in Watford. We also have a children’s outpatient department at Hemel Hempstead.

We know how difficult it can be when your child is unwell or when there is a concern that they may have a condition or illness. Our friendly team is committed to the best care for our patients and strive to support families, children, and young people using our services.

Starfish ward is our children’s ward for inpatient care. It’s located on level 1 of the Women’s and Children's building along with our Safari day care unit. Our Woodlands neonatal unit is located on level 3.
