Hi All,
We are currently reviewing the layout of our paediatric ward and I have
been asked for advice regarding formula prep rooms and whether this
needs to be a dedicated room or can it be combined with a medication
room. I have reviewed the Australian Health Facility Guidelines but
there is only scant information.Can those of you who have paediatric facilities please advise what
facilities you have for formula prep areas.Kind Regards,

Lots of building works going on up your way (I know, I live near your hospital!)
Here are some links I have found:http://www.webdietitians.org/cps/rde/xchg/ada/hs.xsl/nutrition_1562_ENU_HTML.htm
http://www.healthdesign.com.au/vic.dghdp/dghdp_content/RDS/formula_room_rds.pdf
http://www.food.gov.uk/multimedia/pdfs/publication/babypowdertoolkit1007
Some from Australia, UK and USA and also WHO.
Given you have quite a busy paediatric ward there, I would go for a separate formula room due to issues of cleanliness, noise, dedicated workbench space when trying to work in a combined area.
I will ask our formula room staff if they have any further info and will send it on.
At Sydney Children’s we have a dedicated formula room and dedicated formula room staff but then we also have quite a large demand!Thanks,
