Younger Patients

At St Joseph's Hospital we understand the needs of children and aim to make them feel as comfortable as possible during their stay with us. Only children aged 16 and over can be admitted to the hospital, and this takes place using the same process as adult patients.

St Joseph's has a Children's Protocol, which is continuously being developed under the guidance of consultant paediatricians. The policy covers every aspect of childcare at the hospital.

Books, toys and games are provided within a small play area to keep children content throughout their visit to the Outpatient Department.
