Raised so far: £240.00
My story
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
I am Running the Great North Run in September to raise money for the Bradford Royal Infirmary Special Baby Care Unit.
The B.R.I. Special Care Baby Unit
The Neonatal Unit is situated in the Maternity Unit of the BRI on the ground floor.
There are many different reasons for a baby to admitted to the unit, and these may include being premature or small at birth, or if the baby is having problems breathing. Approximately 1 in 10 babies in the UK spend some time on a neonatal unit, so it is not uncommon.
On the unit there are 27 beds in total, divided into three rooms -
¬ Room 1 - Neonatal High Dependency Unit - Has ten beds in total, six of which provide intensive care facilities for babies, e.g. those requiring breathing support. Babies placed in this room will be closely monitored and may have regular tests to check on their wellbeing.
¬ Rooms 2 & 3 - Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) - Has 17 beds split between the two rooms, and provides care for babies who require less intensive care, e.g. those that need help to establish their feeding, or need light therapy for jaundice.
The BRI also has a Transitional Care Unit (nine beds) based on Ward M1 on the first floor of the Maternity Unit, where mother and baby are looked after together by an integrated team of midwives and neonatal nurses.
The unit is led by four consultants - Dr. Chatfield, Dr. Day, Dr. Seal, and Dr. Oddie.
A team of registrars and senior house officers work alongside the consultants to help to provide the best possible medical care for your baby.
The nursing team includes the matron, sisters, staff nurses, student nurses and nursery nurses and provides 24 hour care for your baby, as well as support and education for you as parents.
Other members of staff you may see on the unit include the practice development nurse, regional clinical educator, ward clerk, radiologists, physiotherapists, and domestic staff.
