About IncuBabies

Did you know that the Wirral Women's and Children's neonatal unit located in Arrowe Park Hospital is one of only two level 3 neonatal intensive care units in Cheshire and Merseyside. It is the only the only level 3 unit in the region to also care for sick mothers and children.

So what does this actually mean? It means that they are one of the highest level neonatal units who are qualified to provide specialised care for extremely sick or premature babies from around 24 weeks of pregnancy and we are on your doorstep. Babies born as early as 23 weeks have been able to survive thanks to the outstanding care provided by the team.

IncuBabies is the name of the new charity which has been set up to fundraise for a new extension of the intensive care unit. The current unit now cares for babies from a much wider area than ever before, therefore the demand of the services is increasing and they need your help to meet this demand by extending the unit to make fully compliant with national standards for space.

The neonatal unit take great pride in the vital care and support they offer babies and their families at this very difficult time. Their aim is that they will always be there if you ever need us and for that reason donations have never been more important.
