Welcome to Kamran s Ward Level 0, Children s Hospital Kamran s Ward is the home of Paediatric Oncology (cancer) and Haematology (blood disorders) and provides a variety of services. The ward has a day care area where children have any procedure or treatment that does not require an overnight stay. The ward has 8 inpatient beds and there are also facilities for parents to stay overnight. Please advise your nurse on arrival if you have been in contact with anyone with Chickenpox, Measles or Shingles in the last 2 weeks. First visit If this is your first visit to the ward you are probably feeling concerned. It may not yet be clear what your child s diagnosis is. The doctors and nurses will do everything they can to support you and make sure you have the information that you need. We are here to support you and your family page 4
