Little Journey App

If you would like to take a virtual NICU tour of our unit at the L&D, and have all the key information at your fingertips download the Little journey app onto your phone.

The app also contains information articles about procedures, equipment and conditions your baby may encounter during their NICU stay as well as research studies you may be asked to enrol.
