The Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a regional specialist centre for neonatal intensive care. The Unit cares for over 600 babies a year from all over the South West, particularly babies who require surgery or those who need highly specialist care following complex pregnancies and deliveries. There are 23 cots, 9 of which are intensive care.

The Cots for Tots Appeal has been set up in order to fund a vital expansion in St Michael’s Neonatal Ward, to help the newborn babies in need of special care and support their families.

All the money raised is used to buy equipment for babies or facilities for parents; donated money is never used for administrative costs or salaries.
