Neonatal Team

Alongside our doctors and nurses, our neonatal unit is supported by a wide range of specialist professionals who work together to provide high‑quality, family‑centred care. You may meet several different healthcare professionals, who partnered with parents, form the multidisciplinary team (MDT).

These team members include:

• Dietitians – supporting your baby’s nutritional needs and growth.
• Speech and Language Therapists – helping with feeding, swallowing and early communication development.
• Pharmacists – ensuring safe and effective medication management tailored to premature and unwell babies.
• Infant Feeding Specialist – offering expert guidance on breast, bottle and tube feeding.
• Physiotherapists – supporting your baby’s movement, development and positioning needs.
• Volunteers – trained individuals who help provide comfort and additional support to families and babies on the unit.

Some of these will include neonatal doctors & nurses, support workers, allied health professionals, psychological professionals and infant feeding teams. There are more multidisciplinary staff which you can read about in the Meet the Team section.  

Each member of the team plays an important role in helping your baby grow, develop and receive the specialised care they need.
