Meet our Children’s and Young People’s Lead Nurse
Hello, I’m Michelle Baird, the Children’s and Young People’s Lead Nurse at Nuffield Health Chester Hospital. I qualified in 2008 and have many years of experience caring for children aged 0–16 across a range of clinical settings.
Children are naturally resilient, joyful and inspiring. They place immense trust in us, and it’s a privilege to support them and their families. My team and I are committed to delivering exceptional, child‑centred care – using age‑appropriate communication, play, and distraction techniques to help reduce anxiety and create a positive experience.
We believe that a hospital visit isn’t just an appointment – it's the start of a child’s healthcare journey. A positive experience today can build confidence and trust that lasts long into the future.
We understand that coming to hospital can feel daunting for both children and parents, and we are here to support you every step of the way.
