The Paediatric Physiotherapy Service provides inpatient and outpatient services including respiratory, neurology, orthopaedics and neurodevelopmental care. The Neonatal Unit is a Level 2 regional centre providing specialist services to infants requiring enhanced developmental surveillance and early intervention.
