The Medical Day Unit provides a safe, effective and family-centred environment for children and youth requiring medical treatments, diagnostic tests, procedures, assessments, education and consultations. 

Nurses have the opportunity to treat children with complex chronic illnesses such as Crohn's disease, liver disease and other gastrointestinal diseases, lupus, juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, and other rheumatologic diseases, brittle bone disease, kidney disease, biochemical diseases, and enzyme deficiencies. Nurses also treat immune-compromised patients with immune globulin infusions.

Surgical inpatient units offer a wide range of services for children recovering from surgery, including neurosciences and cardiac surgery. 

Children in the inpatient unit receive treatment for seizures, epilepsy, cranial surgeries, including tumour resections, spinal surgeries, head injuries, Guillain-Barré syndrome, Myasthenia Gravis, as well as postoperative care as they recover from the different surgical services. OR nurses provide services including general surgery, orthopedics, urology, plastic surgery, gynecology, ophthalmology, ENT (ear, nose and throat), dental, cardiac and cardio-thoracic surgery. 

The Burn Program is also situated in this area, where specialists offer expert burn care and pain management for children and youth.

BC Children's Hospital's Operating Rooms are the only dedicated Pediatric Operating rooms in British Columbia. The Operating Rooms include a wide number of specialty services, including a Cardiac Nursing Team and a Spine Team. Our 24-hour operating room provides the best possible surgical care to all children in British Columbia, as well as children from other provinces and territories in Western Canada. Operating Rooms are open Monday to Friday, and most nurses work from 0730 – 1545, with smaller evening and night shift teams providing coverage from 1530 onwards. 24-hour coverage is provided seven days a week. Services we provide include: trauma surgery, scoliosis surgery, a cardiac program featuring a heart transplant program, ENT, dental, orthopedic, plastics, neurosurgery, pediatric surgery, urology, gynecology, and ophthalmology.

The Anesthetic Care Unit provides pre-operative preparation and post-operative care for up to 50 patients per day, Monday to Friday, as well as on-call coverage overnight for children who need emergency care. This fast-paced and challenging unit is staffed by highly skilled nurses who take a family-centered approach to providing care through all phases of the patient journey. Nurses care for patients in the pre-assessment phase of care, pre-operatively on the day of surgery, and through all phases of post-anesthetic care. Patients range in age from neonates to adolescents requiring an anesthetic in order to have a procedure. While the majority of patients are treated and go home on the same day, the unit also provides care for our admit-day-of-surgery patients.

BC Children's Hospital's Medical Imaging provides a complete range of primary and tertiary diagnostic imaging and image-guided diagnostic and therapeutic services to children and adolescents from across the province. Our team has experience with the radiological management of unusual, complex or therapeutically demanding problems in infants and adolescents. These services include general radiography (X-Ray), Computed Tomography (CT scan), Ultrasound, Nuclear Medicine scans, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Vascular and Interventional procedures and cardiac imaging. These procedures help patients in all areas of the hospital and clinics. ‎

The Nursing Resource Team (NRT) is a dynamic group of 60 RNs who provide care in several areas throughout BC Children's Hospital. This is a pool of RNs who pride themselves on being flexible, adaptable and having a wealth of general pediatric knowledge to meet the needs of the organization. Family-centered and trauma-informed care are two guiding principles on the NRT. The NRT are supported throughout their shift both by their own leaders and the unit-based leaders. At all times, a family-centered approach is maintained to meet the needs of the patient.‎
