Welcome to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at St Peter's Hospital

We understand that as parents this can be a very emotional and worrying time for you. You are the most important people to your baby and we want your experience of our Neonatal Intensive Care Unit to be a positive and supportive one.

We are extremely proud to have been accredited with the Bliss Baby Charter Award in December 2019, for our commitment to family integrated care.

Philosophy of Care

For every baby and their family admitted to our Neonatal Unit, we aim to provide excellence in family integrated care care within a safe and nurturing environment.

Working in partnership, we will compassionately support and encourage parents and families to participate in all aspects of their babies care.

We have a research based approach to neonatal care and encourage personal and professional development of all our staff.

It is our belief that every baby should be treated with respect and dignity throughout their unique journey, maintaining confidentiality at all times.
