By GlobalDataUHMBT Children’s unit manager Laura Norton said: “We know that it can be a tough time for little ones and their families if they need to come into hospital.
“That’s why we are so pleased with the revamp of the Children’s Unit as it will make such a huge difference to our patients and helps them to feel comfortable and safe during their time with us.
“The changes have not only benefitted our service users, but it has also been a huge boost for the staff as they are now coming to work in a brand new and modern environment. It’s somewhere we can all really be proud to show off when welcoming patients and visitors onto the unit.”
