What should I bring to hospital?
Infection Control
Alcohol gel is provided for use from dispensers when entering Northbrook, throughout the ward, and in all the individual cubicles.
Some children may need to be nursed in isolation which means they need to stay in their cubicle. If siblings visit, please ensure they also stay in the room for the duration of their visit.
Valuables
Please be aware it is the family’s responsibility to keep valuables, including electronic equipment such as personal ipads and phones, safe from damage or loss when staying on Northbrook.
Mobile phones can be used on the ward. We ask that the phone is kept on silent out of consideration to others on the ward.
