Ward 33 is one of our two postnatal wards.
Ward 33 has 34 beds:
- six four-bedded bays
- two two-bedded bay
- six single cubicles, both with en-suite
Single cubicles are allocated by taking into account of the physical and emotional needs of you and your baby. There are designated toilets for each bay and cubicle and shower facilities on the ward corridor.

Students
As a teaching hospital we will often have students from various specialities come to Ward 33 to gain experience during their studies. They could be:
- Midwives
- Doctors
- Paramedics
- Nurses
- Occupational therapists
The students can be at various stages of their training and may be male or female. They always appreciate your permission to watch or participate in any part of your care as this experience is vital to their training. It is your decision as to whether you will allow any student to participate or watch any or all of your care or whether you would like to decline students altogether.
Location of ward
You can find us on Level 4 of the Leazes Wing at the RVI.
