£17.6 million is being invested to develop a modern centre for urgent and emergency care services at Bassetlaw Hospital, creating an ‘Emergency Village’. This exciting new development offers an opportunity to locate the Children’s Assessment Unit and children’s Outpatient Department next to the Emergency Department to make best use of specialist nursing and medical staff within the hospital. This creates the option of enhancing children’s services within the footprint of the expansion.
By co-locating services, this development also provides the opportunity to secure a permanent overnight inpatient service for children and address the challenges which led to the temporary closure of the children’s inpatient service in January 2017 due to safety concerns.
We are therefore seeking views on what people think is important in the development of the Emergency Village and the options for the future of urgent and emergency children’s care.
The public consultation will be open until 28th February 2022.
