Welcome to the Paediatric Inpatient team at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary. Our nursing staff on the ward work within the Paediatric Team, and work with surgeons. anaesthetists, and paediatric doctos. We have support from the Play Team on the ward.

We also see ward attenders and run day case lists that include blood tests, scans, and allergy testing. 

Where we are based:

Ward 4 at Huddersfield Royal Infirmary is on the 2nd floor. When you arrive at the main entrance, turn right and walk past the shop and pharmacy, carry on right down the corridor until you get to the elevators and stairs. Go up to the 2nd floor and once there, you will see signs for Ward 4 which is through the double doos and past Cardiology Outpatients. You will need to press the button next to the door to be allowed access to the ward for safety reasons.

There is a canteen which is based on the sub-basement floor following signs for Spice of Life. There is also a Costa Coffee Case and a shop on the ground floor reception area.

We have a Play Team that can help provide activities to keep your child entertained throughout their stay on the ward.

Parking is available and throughout your stay on the Children's Ward, you can get a parking permit, so you don't have to pay to park, just ask one of the members of staff and they will provide this for you. 

There is access to family and friends cards on the ward, these can be filled out to give us feedback about your experience on the ward and these can be left in the designated post boxes on the ward or can be posted in a normal post box if you have already left the ward.
