For parents from outside the West of Scotland we have access to accommodation at Crossbasket House, a purpose built parent accommodation block on the campus that can accommodate parents if their baby will be staying with us for a long time. If the House is full, we can arrange a nearby hotel instead.
If you feel that you may need this please speak to the nurse looking after your baby and they will make arrangements for this.
Prior to your baby going home we may offer you the opportunity to stay with your baby in one of our 4 rooming in rooms located on level 2 of the neonatal unit. This is normally reserved for babies within 48 hours of discharge.
The Scottish Government Young Patients Family Fund also provide expenses for families who currently have a baby on a neonatal unit. More information can be found here. Paper copies of forms are also available in the neonatal unit - ask the clerkess.
For help with completing the required expenses forms please speak to the nurse in charge or the ward clerkess.
