Information for our younger patients
Staying with your child
We know how important it is for children to have familiar faces nearby while they’re in hospital. Parents and carers are encouraged to stay with their child during their hospital visit. If you would like to stay overnight, please contact the hospital to check availability and any associated charges.
Families are also welcome to arrange a pre-admission visit, so your child can see the hospital and feel more comfortable before their treatment. Simply get in touch with our team to organise this.
Questions from children, answered
We’ve created a child-friendly FAQ booklet that answers common questions children often have about coming to hospital and receiving treatment.
A story to help explain what will happen
To help young patients understand what to expect, we’ve written a storybook just for kids. It gently explains what might happen during treatment and includes fun puzzles and activities to keep curious minds entertained along the way.
