Consultant Ward Rounds / When will I see a Doctor?
Children arrive on the ward either from their GP or from the Emergency Department. On arrival to the ward your child will be assessed by the on call Doctor and the plan of treatment will be discussed with you. Ward rounds take place on the ward throughout the day. If a decision is taken to keep your child overnight then they will be transferred to the Children’s In-patient Unit at Gloucester Royal Hospital.
Medicine Rounds
We do not have any designated medicine rounds, instead we feel it is better to administer medicines as and when you child requires them.
