Meet the team

All medical and nursing staff work a shift system, so you may meet all or some of the team during your baby's stay.

Doctors

We have a team of neonatologists (doctors specialising in the care of new born babies) who will be responsible for the medical care of your baby during their stay at St Michael's. These are supported by a team of doctors called specialist registrars, clinical fellows and senior house officers who will provide daily medical care.

 

Advanced neonatal nurse practitioners

These nurses have completed additional training to become competent in what were traditionally doctors' roles.

 

Neonatal nurses

There is a large team of specially trained nurses to care for your baby 24 hours a day, led by our Matron Louise Gould. On most days, the day to day running of the unit will be coordinated by a senior sister/charge nurse.

 

Neonatal Outreach Team

The Neonatal Outreach Team  may stay in touch with families in the Bristol area once you have left NICU. This team provide specialist help in the community and help to bridge the gap for families who have been in hospital for a long period of time.
