Tiny Lives are now offering support for parents on Transitional Care, please see below how we assist TC families.
If you were on Ward 35 at any time during your journey, please click here as support offered varies. This page is for families who were exclusively on Transitional Care.
Each family receives one pack, which is full of useful bits and pieces to help make the stay easier. These include travel mugs, note pads to write down information and toiletries.
We’ve launched parent-baby classes exclusively for our transitional care families!
Held by KalmaLife Gateshead, this session is open for babies who were on transitional care. The class incorporates music, song and sensory props, as well as traditional yoga poses too! We recommend that you attend all of the sessions in order to get the most out of them for you and your baby.
Dates TBC but you can register your interest here.
Parking costs should not be a concern when you’re visiting your baby. We fund a parking permit for families on transitional care. These can be used by a parent or a nominated driver (eg. grandparent). If you do not have access to a car, we can fund tickets for buses and Metros. Please ask your nurse in order to get the best option for you. *
*These are available for families expected to be on Transitional Care for 3.5 days or more.
The wonderful Transitional Care Team have put together some information, explaining some of the things that they do on the postnatal wards. This information will help you understand the ins and outs of the Transitional Care Team and hopefully answer any questions you may have!
