Children

Children may find the A&E Department threatening or scary. That is why we would like to give you a few tips:

• Be honest! Tell your child the truth. For example, if the child needs stitches, do not say that it will not hurt.
• Tell your child why you are going to the A&E.
• Stay as calm as you can.

Children are always accompanied by a responsible adult. This adult is responsible for supervising the child at all times. If the child is not accompanied by a responsible adult, the supervising emergency zone nurse will supervise the child until the arrival of a responsible adult.
