Urgent and emergency children’s care at Bassetlaw Hospital
We are seeking your views on the future of children’s urgent and emergency care at Bassetlaw Hospital.
£17.6 million is being invested to develop a modern centre for urgent and emergency care services at Bassetlaw Hospital, creating an ‘Emergency Village’.
This exciting new development offers an opportunity to locate the Children’s Assessment Unit and Children’s Outpatient Department next to the Emergency Department to make best use of specialist nursing and medical staff within the hospital. This creates the option of enhancing children’s services within the footprint of the expansion.
By co-locating services, this development also provides the opportunity to secure a permanent overnight inpatient service for children and address the challenges which led to the temporary closure of the children’s inpatient service in January 2017 due to safety issues.
We are considering the options for the future of children’s urgent and emergency care and would welcome your feedback on these as well as the overall development of the Emergency Village.
