Birmingham Children's Hospital Charity
Birmingham, UK
Ward 10 is our neurosurgery department that treats children that have an injury to their brain or spine. This could be the result of a car or sports accident or a brain tumour. Ward 10 looks after children of all ages. Some stay for a short time, but others can be there for quite a long time. Children on this ward may have to relearn how to do some things – such as walk or talk – rehabilitation is essential for our patients. Ward 10 also has a parents’ room, as looking after a patients family is just as important to us. They can go to the kitchen to make themselves something to eat and drink or rest in the sitting area. There is also a shower, where they can freshen up.
