In order to increase children’s knowledge and reduce their anxiety about hospitalisation and medical care, a presenter from the Hospital Familiarisation Program (HFP) will visit for a two-hour session consisting of:

1. Interactive mat talk- the presenter has a wide range of medical equipment to demonstrate on our life-sized doll.
2. Film - called “Amelia Goes to Hospital” which further prepares children by following a young girl going to hospital for surgery. There are young children role-playing at being in hospital too.
3. Role-Play- the children will have plenty of time to dress up in hospital uniforms and use medical equipment on our life-sized doll. They can also have a turn on our wheelchair and crutches and play with our hospital play-sets and hospital puzzles and books.
