Princess Anne Hospital (PAH), where the Neonatal Unit is situated, is a centre of excellence for maternity care and a regional centre for fetal, maternal and neonatal medicine. Southampton Neonatal Services are home to a large, regional, 37 bedded intensive care service providing care for preterm and term babies, including specialist services such as cardiac, surgical, renal care and regional transport service which is based onsite. We have a dedicated home team who oversee care in the community. We work side by side with maternity services to deliver transitional care. We treat around 900 babies a year and look after babies from across the south and the Channel Islands. We also take babies from other parts of the country for specialised care when needed.
