London hospital unveils new emergency department


A


new children’s emergency department has opened on the ground floor of the


Elizabeth Garrett Anderson (EGA) Wing at University College London Hospital (UCLH). Connected to the adult casualty


department; the purpose-built unit has its own entrance and waiting area and provides an improved environment for babies, children and young people. Becky Jarman, lead nurse, said: “The


new children’s emergency department is a great step forward. Now children


and young people have their own entrance and waiting area, away from the hustle and bustle of the main emergency department. “I hope this will help make what can


be a stressful experience slightly less difficult for our youngest patients.” Chris Laing, divisional clinical director


for emergency services, added: “It is great news that children and young people now have a space that is a more-suitable environment to meet their needs. “I am confident this will be an


outstanding facility that will deliver the very-best care for this group of patients.” And Professor Peter Hindmarsh,


divisional clinical director for paediatrics and adolescent medicine, said: "This is major step forward for children's care at UCLH. “A dedicated ED area for paediatrics


is needed in all major hospitals and it is great that UCLH is in the vanguard of such a development.”
