The new proposed unit will be built around the needs of babies and their families and will be situated on the same floor as the state-of-the-art Barnsley Birthing Centre facility, which means babies will no longer have to be taken into an elevator or be exposed to different environments when being brought onto the Unit. In addition to this, the new Unit will ensure that parents have the space they need to bond with their babies.

Funds for building the new unit are currently being raised by the hospital’s Tiny Hearts Campaign.
