For patients, families and carers

Staying in hospital or coming in for a medical appointment can be a daunting experience, but we want to know that we are here to support you and your child during their time here. Whether your child is coming in for a surgical procedure, a routine check-up or a lengthy stay, we want to make it as easy as possible for you and your child.

The pages in this section are full of useful information about how to prepare for hospital, how to get here and where you can get help and advice.

Children can find out more about our services and what to expect when coming to hospital by visiting our dedicated website for children at www.bartsandthelondonkids.nhs.uk
