First look Inside Alder Hey’s new Surgical Neonatal Intensive Care Unit

Designs for a new state-of-the-art surgical Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at Alder Hey have been revealed.

The new Unit will be the first of its kind in the country to provide Fi Care (Family Integrated Care) and will provide a safer service for babies.

Under the Liverpool Neonatal Partnership, specialist neonatal staff from both Alder Hey and the Liverpool Women’s are working together to change and improve how neonatal services are delivered to families across the North West and provide the highest level of care for the most vulnerable babies in the region. This includes reducing the number of transfers of neonates between hospitals by 50%.

Alongside 22 specialist neonatal cots and 18 integrated family rooms, the exciting new NICU will feature the latest technology, including Telehealth Medicine Robots enabling clinicians to monitor babies remotely.

Together Alder Hey and Liverpool Women’s are developing innovative technologies to enhance the care and experience of babies and families on the Unit. This includes a neonatal tracking system; a wearable device worn around a parent’s wrist which sends out a signal allowing staff to know where the parent is in case of an emergency.

The new Unit is expected to be completed by 2023.
