Children's congenital cardiac services
Children who come under the care of congenital cardiac services, stay on the hospital's purpose-built paediatric ward, E1 – known as Ocean ward.
The bright and welcoming environment has been carefully designed to put children at ease, and there are plenty of toys, games and books for children to play with.
We have two play leaders who can help take children's minds off their treatment, pain and the uncertainty of operations. Find out more about the children's congenital cardiac team|.
We also have regular donations and visits from celebrities, including Southampton FC footballers and the Trust's visiting clown doctors.
