Welcome to the Friends of the Special Nursery

We are the charity of Aberdeen Maternity Hospital’s Neo-Natal Unit for premature and sick babies.

Our committee is made up of Parents and Nursing staff that want to give something back to the Unit by supporting the professionals who provide such a high standard of care.

Having a baby is a life changing experience.  If you do find yourself and your baby in the Neo-Natal Unit it most probably means that your little bundle has been born too early or too sick and no matter the outcome challenging times are ahead.

Since 1984 we have helped hundreds of families through these difficult times.  Many spend a few days with their baby in the Unit whilst other babies need specialist care for longer and the Unit becomes their second home.

We really hope that our Website goes a little way to help you through these times and when you return home.
