Crichton Unit – RHCYP

Crichton Unit is the place where our Paediatric patients come to have an assessment before surgery (preadmission). This is part of the Royal Hospital for Children and Young People where you are usually admitted to on the day of surgery. The unit is run by a team of nurses led by Mrs Tina Ciftci .

This service uses care pathways to make your stay as safe and caring as possible. We work to achieve everyone’s individual needs.

There are various NHS Lothian and NHS Scotland guidelines that we follow. We work to incorporate best practice from the rest of the United Kingdom and internationally.
