The Royal Oldham Hospital's new maternity unit, children's unit and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) fully opened on 3rd December 2012.
Our new £44m women and children's facility involves a major new purpose-built four storey building, new antenatal wards, labour delivery rooms, midwife-led birth centre, obstetric theatres, children's unit and paediatric theatre, and a brand new Level 3 Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.
The Royal Oldham Hospital is now one of three specialist regional neonatal centres providing the highest level of intensive care to the smallest and most vulnerable babies. The NICU consists of 37 cots with 9 intensive care, 9 high dependency and 19 special care cots.
The new facilities are available for women from Oldham, Rochdale borough, Middleton and surrounding areas. Approximately 5,300 babies are expected to be delivered per year at the new maternity unit.
