My trip to hospital

Launched in 2007 at Brisbane’s Royal Children’s Hospital, the My trip to hospital program helps children and their families prepare for a hospital admission.

The books and the DVD will show you through a ‘typical’ admission starting at the entrance to the hospital, through to the wards and the Operating Theatre, the Wonder Factory, and even Outpatients. Reading the age-relevant book, along with watching the video clips, will show you what happens here at the Royal Children’s Hospital and what the medical staff do to help you get better, so that you don’t have to worry or ‘freak out’ about coming here!
