H is for Hospital

A journey through Sandringham Hospital Emergency Department through a child’s eyes.

H is for Hospital is a 5-part video series currently in development.

The aim of the project is to share information about Sandringham Hospital Emergency Department with our paediatric patients and their caregivers.  We understand that effective communication with children is key to their experience in the emergency department and may have a lasting impact on their perception of healthcare settings.

It’s not as scary as some may fear! Watching this video with your child may help to alleviate some anxieties and help answer some of their questions ahead of time.
