Comfort care for children

Bright lights, unfamiliar people, strange smells and sounds, odd-looking machines and equipment… A visit to the hospital, the doctor or the dentist is often a daunting experience for a child.

Whether it involves a blood test, the insertion of a gastric tube or the treatment of a wound, every child experiences the procedure in their own way. Some children cope very well and see it more as a challenge. Other children are anxious or tense and need a little extra attention and support.
