How to use these visuals If you are coming to hospital you can:
• Look at these pictures and talk about them with others
• Talk with the nurses and doctors about the pictures
• Think about what will happen when you come to hospital
If you are helping someone to understand their hospital visit you can:
• Share the pictures with them either as a book or through the website
• Give them time to think about the pictures
• Talk with them about the pictures
• Give them time to ask questions
• Ask them how they are feeling about hospital
• Use the pictures as a guide before or during the hospital visit
