This is the ParentCare
office, just outside the main doors into NICU. |
The main corridor for
parents and visitors leads straight to the reception area. |
The education room (off the
main corridor) is a bit smaller than our current room at NWH, but there
is an adjoining meeting room that opens into it to increase space. |
And there is a nice view if
the education sessions are not to your fancy. |
The tea room however is
large, will have a dishwasher as well as the usual fridge and TV, and
also has filtered water directly plumbed in .... |
... and has a similarly
nice (but somewhat limited) view outside. |
The Whanau Room has a
kitchenette area for food preparation |
The Level 3 and 2 Interview
room is large, has piped oxygen and suction, and has a lot of storage
space for baby cloths etc. |
The Level 3 rooms now have
parent bedside lockers installed. |
The Level 3 are airy and
large. The ceiling mounted supplies are still to be installed. |
Infection Control will be
happy with the size of these basins... |
...and the isolation room
(which is set up with the same layout as a Level 3 room) |
The blood gas machine is in
a relatively central part of the Level 3 area. |
The reception is in the hub
of the unit. |
There is a lot of area of
storage. A Lamson tube for laboratory samples is seen at the right
of the picture. |
There is a waiting area
across from the reception that will hold two sofas. |
Some of the walls in the
corridors have a splash of colour. |
It may not look like it,
but the staff workroom is large. The PACS x-ray viewer will be in
here, as well as the NICU library area and lots of lots of stationery. |
The PIN rooms have an
outlook into the centre of the hospital. The central workstation
contains a lot of space for storage and will also provide a structure to
break up the room. |
The equipment store (seen
from the adjacent clean-up room) should be large enough to store most of
our equipment, including at least one transport set. |
