Communication with Our Staff

You are welcome to be present for rounds with the medical team during the day, but can also be updated at other times during the day or overnight.

Your baby’s nurse can answer questions for you at any time; however, we ask that you limit phone calls during change of shift (between 6:30 and 7:30 each morning and evening) to allow the nurses to give report without interruptions.

If you would like to speak with a doctor, please let your nurse know. If a doctor is not available to come to the bedside right away, we can arrange for a visit or phone call at another time.

Should you have any questions or concerns about your baby’s care that are not answered by the bedside nurse, other staff is available to assist you.

This includes the charge nurses on duty for the shift, and the Clinical Services Manager (CSM). The UAMS Patient Relations office is also available
and can be reached by phone at 501-296-1039.
