A children's emergency department is set to reopen after undergoing £3.5 million of improvements. The Children and Young People’s Emergency Department, based at Queen's Medical Centre, will open on Tuesday, October 11, after its clinical capacity was expanded by 50 per cent.
Nottingham University Hospitals (NUH), the NHS trust that runs the hospital, said two resuscitation cubicles had been added, as well as dedicated entrances for ambulances and children and young people. New waiting areas have also been built, with plans for a new mental health space in the spring.
Catherine Livingston, matron for the department, said she was excited to see its reopening. "We have made it a friendly environment for children and young people and the additional clinical features we have put in will improve the overall patient and visitor experience allowing us to continue to deliver excellent care," she said.
