Crosshouse Children's Wards

Help make our children's wards the best they possibly can be for the children of Ayrshire and Arran.

Over 20,000 babies, children and young people pass through the doors of A&E and the children's unit at Crosshouse each year.

Being in hospital can be a frightening time for a child who may find themselves admitted for many days - or in some cases weeks - on the ward, so the team do all that they can to make sure that young patients and their families have the best possible experience. 

"On the two paediatric wards, the staff are always extremely caring and helpful, completely understanding and sympathetic to the concerns and worries you have as a parent in hospital with your child. They always go above and beyond to help you and have such a great way of calming any fears your child may have."

With your help, we hope to give the team on the children's unit the chance to do even more for their young patients.

With your generosity we hope to enhance areas which the team want to develop for young patients, through play materials and activities, environmental enhancements to make the ward spaces more welcoming and medical equipment to deliver the highest standards of care.
